Writing a blog in the last 5 minutes of the lesson- this is my mission right now!
Todays lesson was specifcly cencentrating on the quotating.
Using MLA, APA or Chicago, as quote method, you can be a pro quoter.
Of course, as already written several times, it is also very convenient to use the great mozilla firefox add on Zotero.

:edit
I was not ab le to finish the blog in 5 minutes, neither on the same day, but let's see...wow, we have only about 2 weeks left, to hand in our essays!
To say the truth, I am not finish yet. I need to work much more for my essay.
Homework... let me check my techou....okay, soo, page 45-46.

The time is passing so fast.

Hello everyone, how are you today.
I will write about the last class.
We finally found a good rhythm of practicing with our Textbook, especially practicing paragraph-writing, and working on our text.
In short, in the first lessons, we were writing a rough text, the basic topic with basic data and content.
Now we are supposed to polish our rough manuscript.
I hope our essays will shine by polishing

In the last lessons, we got to know about a serious problem of the world wide web, and its giant, official, every one can see, universe. Privacy.
The privacy of your data on famous online web sites like Facebook are very questionable.
After reading the article, sent by our teacher Rab, I deleted my uploaded photos and also put my privacy settings on the highest standard.
Of course, I could delete my account, but this wouldn't solve the problem, after Rab.
Furthermore, I am via Facebook in contact with my German friends, so it would cut my last contact with them.

Even though, the Internet is very useful, it has dangerous and scary weak points.
Not using it is not the answer, but using it in a certain way, in a way of consciousness of its dangers, we can live together hand in hand, until the end of this fast highway of life.
Amen.

We also deepened the Paragraph story. How to writ etc pp.
I am honestly very busy in the last time, with watching, discussing and criticizing football, played in the FIFA World Cup 2010 in South-Africa.

SeeYou!

A lesson of insight

The last lesson was very surprising.
Surprising, because I learned the first time that lot on such a small range of time.

Next I'd like you, my dear reader, to have a look at my notes, I took in the last lesson.
There are 2 special facts to say about this notes, and 1 not that special thing.
1. It is all written in the google document application, which I shared with other students, so that everyone, especially those, who couldn't get all the point in the speaking pace of Rab, or those who forget to write their own notes, have now the possibility to see my notes. Furthermore, they can also add notes, which I didn't write.
2. With the web application script, I can post the file into the blog

one bad fact is, that I made some spelling and grammar faults.
Rules of Academic Writing

While writing my Essay, I can explore the internet, its functions and in formations.
I am not focusing on my topic only, but when I see any interesting articles, whether they are related to my topic, or not, I read them. I am see that my horizon of knowledge getting wider.
So you kill two birds with one stone.

In the last lesson, we basically talked in our groups about every ones essay, and how to share information via gmail documents to our group mates. To explain the document sharing system, Rab used my essay manuscript as example, and marked so many thinks red, as faults, that I really began to think, how less I know about writing an essay in English. I didn't even seem to know the basics of writing, maybe some time, Rab will teach us the abc, and not the xyz.
Ah, maybe I am just a little bit frustrated, that I have finished basically my Essay in the content, but not in the mass of words, since we have to write 1000-2000 words.
