You should give your feedback in WebCT.  Open a new email message and address it to your peer and all the instructors.  To get full credit you need to make sure that the instructors also receive the message you are sending to your peer.  Due by Tuesday at midnight (22nd).

You need to do the following:

Look for spelling mistakes
Look for grammar mistakes (verbs, tenses, adjectives, prepositions, etc.)
Make suggestions for how to fix mistakes.
Make suggestions for ways to improve the final entry (at least two)

Primera semana - Tarea

You have three things you need to do on your blog this week.  From now on, your blog entries and comments should be in Spanish and remember to keep it appropriate for the university setting.  You need to post or comment by the date in parenthesis.

1 - Write a new blog entry.  See below for details. (Wednesday)
2 - Post a picture with a short paragraph length description (Thursday)
3 - Comment on two pictures and one blog entry (Friday)

Una experiencia española - For your first blog entry in Spain you need to tell about an experience that you have had here in Spain. It can be an adventure you have had. It can be a funny, happy, embarrassing, etc. It should be at least 150-200 words (you can write more if you need/want to). Don't forget to proof read your entry and add accent marks where appropriate; it might be a smart idea to write your entry in Word and then cut and paste it into blogspot.  You need to post by midnight on Wednesday.

La foto de la semana - Each week you need to post one picture on your blog. It needs to be posted by Thursday night at midnight. It should be a picture that you took (or give credit for the picture). You need to include a description or story with the picture (short paragraph length in Spanish). Please only post appropriate pictures. You need to post by midnight on Thursday.
 
Los comentarios - By Friday night you need to have looked through several of the pictures and commented (in Spanish) on at least two of them. You also need to do the same for one blog entry. Try to comment on pictures and entries that don't already have a lot of comments.
