Classroom Activities on 10がつ13にち

Discuss what makes a good blog in groups of 3-4 people.

At the end of the semester not only teachers but also your classmates will select the best blog. We will use the results of your discussions today as a basis for deciding the criteria that we will use to select the best blog at the end of the semester.
  1. Discuss what makes a good blog in groups of 3-4 people.
  2. Post the result of your discussion in the comment column of the blog. Make sure to include your names or initials with the posting so we know that you have commented.
