The document outlines an assignment for students to create an English-language blog about the culture of English-speaking countries. Students will work in groups to publish at least 12 blog entries with articles, videos, photos and other materials found through research. Entries must include summaries and comments rather than directly copying content. Groups will present their completed blogs to the class. The assignment will be assessed based on originality, number of entries, writing of original text, breadth of cultural information, and organization of the presentation. A timeline is provided for setting up the blog, doing research, and publishing entries over several weeks before presenting to the class.
