  time table for doing the collaborative writing.

  during  the Qing Dynastlt1644-1912gttwo old men
  said it was originally held on Hong Kong Island,
  in Ta Ping Shan-where many people were killed by
  bubonic plague. They said a man from hailufeng
  asked  Pak Tei ltBeidigt to stop the plague other
  reside, join his prayers and the disease subside
  Pak Tei become like the island patron saint

Processes of the Writing

• Both 5A and 5B students should first set the
  power points for preparation and searching
  information.
• After that, teachers will use these information
  to write their own sub-topics by using mind maps
  and paraphasing skills
• After that, students can know more about what
  they should write in their reports/dramas.

Final Stage

• Teachers can show the students how to use the
  goggle website to finish their tasks and the most
  important points is that not only teachers but
  also the students themselves should read and give
  comments about the works (i.e. peer evaluation)
• Both 5A and 5B are allowed to give comments to
  each other, the cross-over evaluation between two
  classes are greatly encouraged.

??1205 - ?? I feel ok The comments are quite
short and simple, it is hope that all the
students can act as a proofreader to pick out
some careless grammatical errors and wrong words
spellings, as it is also an opportune time to
learn English.

The Advantages of using the Website
Easy to use with the Chinese headings especially
to the students. Students find interest to write
on the web. All of them precious the
chances. Students can check the other works and
they may also learn from each others. Easy to
stick the photos and video clips on it if
necessary, Finally it can create a GOOD TEAM
SPIRIT and do know how to accept the others
opinions. (help to keep patience and show caring
to the others) It is therefore worthwhile
promoting to the other schools as an interesting
tool to develop writing.

Some opinions of the students after using the
website 2.0

5A ARTHUR CHONG
I like using the Google collaborative
platform, because after Ive made changes on that
web, other people can see the changes, so that
other people can post comments on what you have
done. The Google collaborative platform
makes a good team spirit, and can have a better
communication among us. I therefore willing
to recommend the other people to use the Google
collaborative platform.

5A TIMOTHY LEUNG
I like Google Web Sites because I think
Google Web Sites is good and easy to use, because
it has some Chinese explanations and its function
is good too, so I will introduce this to my
classmates, let them know the benefits of using
the Google Web Site   I also think that
Google Web Sites help me work well. Obviously the
fonts are good to work with, all movies and
pictures can also be placed on the Goggle
sites   At Google Web Sites I have leant
that all the team members should try their best !
