How to view other responses

Dear students, After you submit, you will see a screen to either "see previous responses" or "edit your response". If you click on "see previous responses", you will see everyone else`s work. Once you click out of your browser you will not see this option again. However, if you edit your reponse via your email receipt, then submit (even without editing), the "see previous responses" option will appear again. I hope this helps. Kind regards, Chris Elivn

April 19th lesson

Dear students, There were four things that you had to remember from last week: 1) Upload your vocabulary word 2) Finish writing your summary of "Harvest of Fear" 3) Start your listening portfolio and 4) Talk with your group about what to do for your student-led activity. Today you will have a student-led activity, which will normally take about 30 minutes of the lesson. After that, you will either study one of the themes of the course, or a topic chosen by the teacher or one by a student. Please feel free to discuss with your classmates and offer suggestions that you think would be appropriate for the class. Summary and Opinion - Week 2 After you have finished, you should also upload the word which you have learned today that may become part of an end-of-trimester quiz.
