What to do in class each day

Someone should check the class email address every class (click here to login) and check for any comments, suggestions or emails.

You should also make sure that anything happening in the school is marked on the calendar so that everyone can see it.

Each student should come to the Student Blog class with some ideas of what they want to do. Here are some ideas:
  1. find out what is happening this week in Vancouver and write a blogpost about it!
  2. Have you been to a good (or bad) restaurant, shop, club or anything else lately? Done anything interesting? Tell us about it! Write a review!
  3. Read what others have written - particularly in the Vancouver Information section. If you have any more information to add, edit the post, and add it! It would be very good to have public transport information on how to get to each place, as well as ticket or pricing information where necessary. Maybe even a link to a map?
  4. Tidy up links in the sidebar, and make sure all the useful information is easily available.
