      Amy, if you could access the lesson content from the attachment, or the video, why did you not comment on the CONTENT?! This is why I want students to comment BEFORE the lesson so that I can see they know what the lesson content is. I allocate a mark to every appropriate comment where I am convinced that the student read the lesson material, but if I am not convinced, NO marks. Most of you do exactly the same. What is going on? Don't you understand?

      Thank you, Cynthia. This already looks better.

    • Zakumi > Cynthia April 9, 2014 13:48

      Cynthia, you said NOTHING about the lesson content! Only that you know that the next lesson would be about Morocco. And you mentioned that your uncle stayed there. Do you really think this is a satisfactory comment that deserves a mark towards your final semester score? I don't think so.

             Hello,teacher.   We will learn about Morocco in next class.  We will listen to the radio,16-minute about the developing of English in Morocco.   We can improve our English by listening to the video.  What is more,we can learn knowledge about Morocco.  I am looking forward to the next class.

      Linlin, you don't convince me at all that you really know the lesson content at all. You have just quoted what I've said in the lesson post. This is not a proper comment (like most of your classmates before you, and I'm sure that'll come after you too). What is going on with this class? Don't you all understand what is expected from you with the comments?

    Hi,teacher!During the next class,first,we are required to retell the news ,and then,we will listen to the radio,16-minute about the developing of English in Morocco.By listening to it,we can not only practice our listening skills but also expand our knowledge horizon.That must be interesting. 

    • Zakumi > Ma Yuetong April 9, 2014 13:32

      Wrong, Ma Yuetong! We are NOT going to listen to the radio. Who said that?! What you said here is just repeating what I said in the lesson post. You are supposed to open the attachment, READ through it, and then comment on the content. But you didn't do that. Do you think this is good enough?
