Task I
Orlan and Art
The criteria for assessing are:
Complete task(most students lost points because they didn't answer all questions) – Cohesion and coherence – Grammar and lexis
Most people’s problem is that the task is incomplete & some grammar problems. Some people didn't make major changes last week. However, I decided to be slightly more lenient.
second revision & final mark 4 task.

Today
Dear all:
today you will have 2 tasks Today task will be marked so make sure you concentrate and do them both.
Your first task is to look at the previous market post (on art) and make sure you did both tasks. Secondly, I'd like you to check the grammar, spelling, coherence and task on both texts.
.
As a teacher you become involved with your students. To be honest guys, I am a bit sad of how you are reacting to classes in general. I may joke and sometimes be laid back but that does not mean I am not paying attention or concerned about your performance. As I said it to you today I was really shocked when I gave you a reading to do. You did the reading, the grammar activity and did not look for the meaning of the main word in the article. Last week I photocopied some material for you, explained it in class, sent it to you by mail, and realised this morning only 3 or 4 of you had actually done it. No replies to my e mails,etc.
Your second task is to write about how you feel about the classes in general, but looking at it from both angles.
Do you think this tendency is shared by young people or is it just you?
Why are you feeling so demotivated?
What is wrong with the classes and what is not working on your part that you are not learning as much as you should?
Miniumum 150 words. 3 comments.

Is this art?
Dear all:
This week's post will be marked. Make sure you answer all the questions.
This week we will talk about art.There are two tasks to do. First of all, I'd like you to open wordreference.com and have a look at the video below. This is the performance artist you read about in the book. I would like you to watch the video and give me your opinion.
What do you think of her performance of being paid to give a kiss? How did it change her career? What do you think of her idea of art as a message to society? Do you agree with her statement on narcissism and exhibitionism and artists?
What is your opinion of her as an artist?
Task II
Regarding art in general:
What is your favorite piece of art? (Remember art is much more than paintings!)
When did you last see it, hear it?
What struck your attention?
Write at least 220 words on BOTH tasks. 3 comments to your classmates during class.
