This is week 2 of Essay Writing Class 2012. Now we'll really start to get busy!
Some of the things we will work on this year are ...
1) Making good sentences. That means we will pick up some grammar points each class and try to make our sentences grammatically correct and easy to understand.
2) Having a good essay format. That means the essay will have a title, paragraphs, spaces between lines, indentations where necessary, and of course, it will always be typed.
3) Developing a great style. We will try to use descriptive writing rather than vague, general writing. Kevin will explain more about that next week.
In today's class, we will do the following:
1) Practice a simple grammar point; the verb To Be.
2) Learn about good paragraph shape.
3) Learn how to use Google Docs with our gmail accounts.
4) Become aware of some online typing practice sites, such as:

If we have time, we'll blog about this interesting article from the Japan Times. What do you think; is the Japanese folk tale racist?
