Let´s try to solve a problem
Feedback on the essays
Hello! By now you all know what marks you got in your essays, and although you will get feedback in class, there is one thing that I think deserves special attention, because it may be worrying you unnecessarily.
Some of you wrote about “Becoming a Writer”. I had to correct many of those essays, and I have the impression that there is one thing that has been overlooked: what the author really means. When many of you answered by mentioning “the rules”, “the conventions” or “the structures”, I got the impression that there is some misunderstanding that we have to clear up, because you might, just like the author of the essay, be having a hard time trying to follow rules that teachers don´t give you!
That´s why I need some help from you: please read the (short) question in this link

an excellent video
Please watch this video, it´s called "The future of publishing" but you'll probably draw the wrong conclusion by only reading the title, so give it a chance! And then tell us: what exactly do you think this young girl is talking about? Do you agree with her views?
This is the second new post today, please also read the previous one.
the congress
I'd like you to contact me if you want to go.
And, whether or not you are interested in the topic, I think it would be a very good idea for all of you to think of going to congresses now that you are students. It is an interesting part of your education.

blogger classmate
Hello everyone!
Today I want to talk about a great idea that one of your classmates has had. Here is the e-mail she sent me:
Hola Silvia, soy Eliana DiJorgi Menche. Te escribo porque la ante ultima clase salio la discusión del problema que tenemos los alumnos a la hora de escribir y me acerque a hablarte sobre algo que se me había ocurrido.
ELI =)
Congratulations for this initiative, I hope everybody visits the blog and writes in it (but also in this one!) Do you like the idea?
