Dear
class,
We're
now finally entering the exciting and long-expected asynchronous unit.
Hope you'll benefit from the materials that your teacher and classmates
contribute in the following weeks. You all will be kept posted about
changes in the website and reminder for assignments, etc. Please check
your emails often and let me
know if there's any problem or question.
Journals:
By May
23, you're supposed to complete the following assignment:
You either post 2-page responses to (1) Chris's report, (2) the essay
Marc presented, OR (3) one of the journal responses posted.
You need to do this in EngSite,
so if you haven't registered, do it now!
Online discussion <Part I>:
On May
26, we're going to use the original class time (1:30pm-3:00pm) to
have a virtual meeting! Hold your breath, because it's going to be
fun. Please read the play, Midsummer Night's Dream, and relevant
materials before class. Your teacher, Ray, will meet you online and
chat with the whole class via MSN messenger. You can do it at home,
in the computer lab at school, or even in an internet cafe as long
as you're online. Now, here comes the instruction from me about how
to install MSN messenger so that you
can have online discussion. (For those who already have an account
or known what to do, you may skip the following paragraph.)
First, you need to download the program, MSN
messenger. You may get it from Toget
or MSN.com.
Either before or after you install the software, you need to apply
for a Hotmail account (do it by following the procedure here
or here),
witch can be uses as not only email but also your chatting account.
If you already have an existing hotmail account, you can use it directly.
Then, once the hotmail account is settled and MSN messenger is installed,
get online and login. Try to familiarize yourself with MSN messenger's
features and be prepared to chat by using it. It should be very simple
and easy. Don't be afraid to try and you know you're always welcome
to ask for my help.
To have an inspring discussion and in-depth analysis, come prepared
and type fast! See you in the cyber classroom.
P.S.
You may email me
to get Ray's account.
Enjoy!
Assistant, Gretchen
