Alumni Blog Project

Welcome to the Alumni Blog Project.  We are a bicultural (American/Brazilian) center located in São Paulo, Brazil. 

During the second semester of 2007 (July-December), we have been developing a project for some of our teen groups.  The students are from age 14 to 18 and their level is upper-intermediate. Each group meets for two hours, twice a week.  Each teacher responsible can choose how many hours of these their groups will spend at the computer lab, but in general between 1/2 to 1 hour per week.

Our project blog is http://weteachenglish.wordpress.com

There are 6 teachers who are helping on this project.  We are piloting different blog projects with different methods and standards:

Cory has two groups working in different formats:

Teen 7 Group A is working on individual blogs.  They are being graded on participation, writing mechanics and homework assignments:
