Hi to my two favourite classes! You have to express your adoration for English by completing posting 3 by 29th Feb.

Watch these videos:

Moonwalk bird http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uVSxEkCUAg0
Lyre bird http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VjE0Kdfos4Y

Before you write, please construct a graphic organiser, e.g. mindmap, concept map, listing etc to show that you have planned your writing.

After that, based on your graphic organiser, start to process your writting.

Just call this 3rd blog Posting 3. And it will be information that you search from

I know that's a lot of websites - please do not be distracted by reading everything. Concentrate!
Highlight some of the bizarre facts of animals (Structural and behaviour).

These are the criteria for posting 3:

1) List at least 5 info of animals (which will not include the lyre bird and the moonwalk bird). More is welcomed for those who have pen diarrhoea.
2) Give a sub topic title to each of the paragraph you have written (Yes! You guessed it! 1 para for 1 animal behaviour)
3) DO NOT PLAGIARISE!! Which means you are not to copy and paste from the net. USE YOUR OWN WORDS to construct your writting

After the submission deadline, one of your good friends will grade you according to a rubric that I will prepare for them.

May you increase in knowledge and write fearlessly!!!

Posting 2

Hi I'm here to bug you about your work again ; > Your second posting should be up and completed by 9 Feb. It should be titled as "Posting 2". Full English sentences please! And do ensure that you write about yourself - your own Aubiography. The scaffold (which was planning) was already done - remember the timeline you did? Use the Timeline as you type. Put nice digital pictures of yourself or anything picture that is related to what you mentioned in your autobiography. By all means, make it interesting.

By the way, please read good compositions written by your nice little friends:
Tingwei's http://tingweibloggy.blogspot.com/
and Elaine how about yours?
