Week Three Updates for 520R and 420W

So far, this blog experiment has been very successful, so thank you to everyone for setting up your blogs and starting them so enthusiastically. I have added a drop-down menu on the right with links to your classmates' blogs, so you can find all of them easily. Pease note that I am still waiting for a small number of people to send me their blog URLs - you know who you are!

I have also added a link to some American short stories - I would have liked an international mix of writers, but I couldn't find one, so this one will do. If you would like to read some classic American short stories you can find the link at the bottom right of this blog.

This week in the lab we will be working on summarizing and paraphrasing for the 520 class, and document formatting in the 420 writing class. Hopefully you will also have some time to check out each other's blogs as well. See you soon!

Haha,I am always the first one!

I find that there is a "Yukino" in our 520R link list and the same one in 420W`s.

Is that a mistake?

Thanks for share the short stories. It is a very good idea. I also find a great website that update idiom everyday. But I don't know how to set up that small window in my blog.

I hope you can use it.
Plus: The link about Advice on Academic Writing is very good. I will spend sometime on it. Thank you
