For ease, perhaps it would be best to copy and paste your questions/answers into the e-mail message itself. That way there is no need to worry about attachments. This would probably be a wise idea for when you are due to send your completed homework tasks to me. = = = = Many thanks, = = = = Ms Kirk =

= = = = =Introduction to the Wiki:=

Welcome to our wiki!
This is a website to be used as a learning resource for our class, 5Heng2. It should be a place where you can discuss the literature that we are studying and to find out about homework tasks or to catch up on missed work. The more that you put in to this site, the more you will get out of it. Also, please feel free to let me know if you have any suggestions for how the site can be improved.

By agreeing to use this website as a learning resource, you are also agreeing to follow the rules and conditions of the site. It is an open forum for our class members and is to be used responsibly, as a tool for English only.

You will have to log in a minimum of once a week in order to find out whether that are additional homework tasks. Sometimes you will have to submit tasks online individually or as part of a group.

Initiate discussions; use this as a forum to yell about what is freaking you out about the course, or to share opinions... whatever...

Enjoy!

Ms Kirk :)
