Date & time: September 5 - 9, 2004 (7:00 - 8:30 GMT)

During this week we are going to practice summary writing, using the concept of the 5Ws. You are going to summaraize the material you have saved and published on your blog. Then, we are going to aorganize the information, using the Standard Academic Outline Format. Then we need to write an intorduction, body, and conclusion paragraphs for the essay or your short research paper. Type your 4-paragraph essay on a Word document, and then copy and paste it on a new post on your blog, so that I can read it and post you my comments. Then, you will be orgainzed in pairs to start the peer review. Go to Peer Review Handout to print out a copy so that it is easier for you to write your comments before you post it to a blog of one of your virtual classmate. Note: Please try to post constructive comments to encourage and support your virtual colleague.
