Our students don't need to worry, there are no judges. Teachers will choose the best submissions to win prizes. It is a secret though who has chosen whom. We just say to our students that our teachers chose the winner.
The amount of YouTube clicks accepted has a maximum of double the number of our website clicks (http://wf.aloud.kr) that the video receives. The maximum amount of our website clicks accepted is up to double the number of YouTube clicks, as well. If someone receives 50 clicks on our website and 150 clicks on YouTube, only 100 of the YouTube clicks are counted, with a total of: 150 clicks. If someone receives 150 clicks on our website and 50 clicks on YouTube, the total would be 150 clicks.
* Students should first post their entries onto their teacher’s board. The teacher will help them with editing. The teacher will then post the final submission onto the board beginning on December 1st: http://wf.aloud.kr
* English Aloud has the right to post all content from the contest on our website.
* EnglishAloud can send a webcam or a microphone instead of the cash awards, if the student's microphone or webcam is not good for class.
4. Lowrie will leave on Thursday, October 19th. She will go on vacation to India for two months and will attend a graduate shool afterwards. I hope she will come back one day.
She has taught since December 2011 almost 6 years without any breaks except some vacations for a few weeks. She has broken Megan's record (almost 4 years) at our school. She is one of the most successful teachers at our school.
5. We will watch Teacher Mike's video with his student, "Alex" the second half
