Your teacher Triin

TASK 1. MAKE YOUR BLOG
Blogging is very useful for helping us to practice English more. There are many cool things for English learning which are on the computer and the Internet. That is why we are going to make blogs.
1. Go to www.blogger.com.
2. If you have a Google account (gmail, YouTube, Orkut, Picasa etc), type in your user name and password and sign in. If you don't have a Google account, click on CREATE A BLOG button and create (looma) your Google account.
NB! Please write ONLY YOUR FIRST NAME (eesnimi) for your 'Display name' (DON’T WRITE YOUR FAMILY NAME! (perekonnanimi)).
If you have just created your Google account, it will also ask you to verify (autoriseerima) yourself. Select country > Estonia. Type in your mobile phone number and you will get an SMS with a code, which you need to type in. If you don’t have your phone with you, you can also use someone else’s phone – she/he just needs to be near you with the phone.
NB! Please write down your user name and password somewhere where it won’t get lost - for example in your diary!
3. After that you will now need to give your blog a title (pealkiri).
Please give it a name your First Name's English Blog (for example, if my name would be Mihkel, my blog title would be: Mihkel's English Blog).
4. For blog address, please write 2019-yourfirstname-english after which there is going to be blogspot.com (again, if my name would be Mihkel, my blog address would be: 2019-mihkel-english.blogspot.com).
5. Click on CONTINUE button.
6. Choose a template (taust) for your blog and again, click CONTINUE button.
That’s it! You have your blog now and it’s ready for the first posting!
TASK 2. MAKE YOUR FIRST BLOG POSTING ABOUT YOUR ADVENTURE ACTIVITIES
Click on START POSTING NOW.
As the title, please type Adventurous Me (it means "Seikluslik mina" :) and write at least 7 sentences in English to tell about adventure activities. Use your workbook exercise 6 (page 6) and textbook exercise 1 (page 7) and exercise 2 (page 8) for some ideas how to start the sentences. You can also add (lisama) the other adventure activities that we have talked about - skateboarding, skating, ... If you say you like or enjoy some activity, please say also why do you like it.
Add any pictures or videos if you wish.
When your first posting is done, please send me an e-mail (triin.noorkoiv@tyhg.edu.ee) with your blog web address - I will link your blog to our class blog, too!
If you didn't manage to finish all of it in the class, please do it at home or in the library later today, and send me an e-mail as you are done.
Today you will have a little different lesson - you are in the computer lab! :)
You have two goals here:
- making your blog (task 1)
- writing your first blog post to tell about your adventure activities (task 2)
Have fun and see you next week! :)
