This document outlines plans for a blog for 4th and 5th grade English students at Federico Ozanam School that will focus on developing grammar skills through describing daily routines using simple present tense. The blog will be used by students during their 2 hours per week of English class and by teachers for assessment, and will feature vocabulary about time, clothing, food, and actions. Resources for the blog will be selected based on theories of communicative competence, multiple intelligences, and online learning environments.
