Where to live???

Good morning, class:

Today’s module will again be split into two parts.

8:30-9:10: Where to live?

Let’s see in the “real world” how you would do looking for (and finding!)
a place to live abroad.

Visit the following site and start by choosing a city (in the English-speaking
world) of interest.

http://www.craigslist.org/about/sites

Find ads for places to live. Read through several, noting any and all collocations you find (i.e. “hardwood floors”). Write them down in your notebook!

Your blog post should include A) a place where you would like to live and B) a place you would not like to live.

Here’s an example for A above:

Well, I’d like to live here because the place has hardwood floors which I really like. (They’re easy to clean and look classy.) It also appeals to me because it has two fireplaces. Note that it also has a Jacuzzi. I bet that would be great for cold, winter New Jersey nights. (= 50 words)

(Include the link as above. You do not have to use MLA formatting for this assignment)

Then repeat but for B—a place that does not interest you.

9:10-9:50: Your papers!

Use this time to advance on your reflective essays. Be sure you review the rubric that will be used to mark this project. It can be found in the files folder. Look for “Reflective Essay project rubric).

A couple reminders:
Be sure you follow MLA format and apply the content checklist
from the first peer review.
Be sure you turn in ALL required contents (i.e. outline, revised drafts, etc.) on Wednesday!

Again, to give you time to print, class on Wednesday will start at 8:45. After 9:00, you will not be allowed to enter the classroom and your essay will be considered late. You should therefore plan accordingly. And do arrive as soon as you can as we have few days to finish unit 9!
