Ok guys,

Hope you're ready to embark on this new adventure. ;) Here's your 1st assignment:

Since our 1st Unit is about leisure activities and holidays, I have 2 tasks for you.
- Visit Phreetings and create a virtual postcard. You can refer to: the weather, the accomodation, the things you're doing, etc.
- Go to LiveTyping and let the world know a bit more about you. You can refer to: favourite food, favourite music, favourite subject, hobbies, sports, etc.

Here's what I'd like you to do.

- Visit LiveTyping and dazzle me with your writing skills. It's a free theme text, so let your imagination go wild. Just be sure you write a minimum of 80 words.

- Head on over to Animoto and create a "about me" video presentation, so we can let the world know a bit more about the wonderful people you guys are.
