The blogs are a very good tool to teach "writing" is fun, its different than just be in a classroom hearing the instruction and getting bored, using the blogs is mor dynamic, you can see more easily your classmates work´s and have a register of your improvements.
I liked a lot, I had a great time using the blog.
The advantages I think it has working on blogs maybe is the fact that you have the register of all your works, you can modify them easily and also share information with your classmates.
Probably the only disadvantage could be the tempatation of commit plagiarism.
Most likely, yes I really loved the idea and if I have the oportunity I think I could give it a try.
Actually I can´t think in any way how these classes could have been any better, really.
Tnx miss :D

Some questions
Why is writing important for an EFL teacher?
It is very important, it´s fundamental for a teacher know how to express his ideas in a proper way and commiting the less errors possible. It´s a good way to put in practice our grammatical knowledge and improve and a lot of aspects of our English skills.
What is the best way to teach writing to children?
Nowadays is very difficult to encourage the habit of writing since our world is domained by computers, television, videogames and nobody seems to care about reading or writing.
When we want to teach how to write to children the motivation is probably the most important factor.
Making entertaining activities such as the use of a blog may work pretty well in younger generation of students.
Another way to teach how to write is just allow them to invent their own stories, is a very entertaining and reguarding activity.

Imaginated story
It was been a normal day for Jennifer at school, she had a great day with all her friends and also she ad studied very hard that day. Her school was only 8 block away from her home, so she usually walked her way back everyday. When classes were over that day, she prepared her stuffs to start her daily travel, but she had an odd feeling, she was been watched, even though, there was nobody near.
Jennifer in that moment got a bit nervous but then she thought “how silly i´m, it miust be just my imagintion”.
She left the building of her school and started to walk towards her home, but the feeling of been watched had become into another feeling “someone is following me” she thought, “maybe a robber”.
Jennifer freaked out and than started to walk really fast, it was 7:00 PM in Fall and it was getting a bit darker, she had to walk about 4 more blocks to get to her home, then she look behind her and she saw man about 1.85 meters tall, standing about half a block away with a bag on his hand wearing a black jacket and a hat so she couldn´t see his face.
She had the feeling that the man would hurt her if she let him to get any more near to her so she started running.
“I´m don´t wanna get robbed”, she thought and I wont let that happen to me.
Then when she look back the man was too far away and suddenly she realized that she was in front of her house, “oh i´m safe” she thought but then when she get in her mom opened the door , “ a sir was looking for you” she said gently, Jennifer went to the living room and ther it was, the same man that was following her.
He took his hat off and then said, “ lady you let this pen at school”

Scientists Decode Set of Cancer Genes
a)This new called my attention since I have known people who have died because of this disease and it´s awful.
b)For first time all genes of a person with cancer have been decoded. A woman with 50 years old who died of leukemia, donated some cells for the investgation. The scientists sequenced all the DNA from her cancer cells and compared it to the DNA from her own normal, healthy skin cells.
They found the mutations in the DNA and they say that this can help in the future to develope more effective treatments.
D)Cells: These are the minimum components of our bodies and all the material things that exist.
Leukemia: This is a sickness produced by cancer, which can be lethal.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?
To the question the miss she gave us.
Is it OK to copy someone else's work and say that you did it?
a) As long as you get a good grade for the homework.
b) Agree, but then write the true anyway.
c) No, because it is dishonest and robs credit from the other person.
I choose the alternative C) No, because it is dishonest and robs credit from the other person.

What do I think about plagiarism
I think that plagiarism is something very common in our world and we can see it everywhere at anytime. But even though, this is unethical because the stealing of knowledge is as serious or even more, than stealing material objects. I believe that the miss published this article because a lot of people wrote in his essays ideas of other people without writing the sources and in order to help us to realize that what we are doing is wrong, she published this on her blog.
Thanks miss :D
