Lucy and her classmates are discussing about creating a homepage for their class.
Lucy: What should we put on our class homepage?
Jane: I think our class homepage should have daily or weekly news of class activities.
Mathew: What kind of class activities?
Jane: Something like spring outings, class meetings, a school singing competition, etc.
Mathew: We will go for a spring outing next week, won’t we? I can write something about it.
Lucy: Great! What else should our class homepage have?
Mathew: Um… How about photos of students’ artwork, presentations, and outdoor activities?
Lucy: Good idea! But who will take the photos?
Mathew: As I am a fan of photography, I can take the photos.
Jane: I’ve got an idea. As parents always want to know what assignments their kids do in
and after class, we can also post our weekly agenda(计划表), including in-class assignments and homework assignments, on the homepage.
Lucy: And I think I can create a “reading corner” on the class homepage, too. As I am
a bookworm, I can recommend good books to our classmates.
Jane: Great! Let’s get down to work!
