olepost

(1) I post material from various websites that: (i) illustrate concepts we've been learning as animations and/or video or static photos (ii) have online lessons/reviews of material we've covered in class (iii) have interactive online quizzes that give kids an opportunity to test their skills. (see this sample post: http://pc30s.blogspot.com/2005/10/pop-goes-weasel.html (2) (2nd Post) Each student has to write a reflective post about their learning at least once before each test. It's worth one mark on the test. More in depth details are on my personal blog, here: http://adifference.blogspot.com/2005/10/blogging-assessment.html and http://pc40s.blogspot.com/2005/02/blogging-on-blogging.html Example http://apcalc.blogspot.com/2005/12/cool.html http://apcalc.blogspot.com/2005/10/little-something-to-read.html (3) One student each day is the class scribe. This is worth 5% of their class mark (like a participation mark), everyone who writes a scribe post gets their marks -- non-blogging students don't (it's their choice).

There is an anatomical and a psychological reason for paying attention to posture. From an anatomical point of view, finding a comfortable embrace helps the enjoyment of the dance. The psychological aspect involves a positive winning attitude. The dancers must believe they are the best they can be. source: http://www.planet-tango.com/tutorial/dance-01.htm
