Week 3 - Activity 3

Hey guys, ready for one more week of activities?

For this week, you will remember the discussion you had in class on the activity 28 about academic biographies and résumés. You will write a brief paragraph (8-10 lines) talking about the reflection you and your friends reached when you were discussing the following questions in class:

A) In your academic field, do you usually look for academic biographies? In which situations? What kind of information do you try to find in this kind of text?

B) Do you think the author of the academic biography can help you judge the quality of the text?

C) Does the résumé of a person reflect the professional he/she is? Why (not)?

RUBRICS:

for the paragraph activity, you will be evaluated on:

- the depth of your reflections;

- meeting the requirements of the activity;

- being punctual to turn your activity in;

- good use of the language and structures studied in the classroom. 

You will post your paragraph here. 

This activity is due May, 3, 2013.

Have fun and be reflexive!

Hey everyone :)

Let’s get started with the online activities for this week?

This week we have a video activity.

You will have to record a video of yourself presenting a biography about a person you admire. This person can be from the academic area or not.

In your video, you can give information about his/her life, career, projects, talk about these person’s achievements, etc. Use your imagination as much as you can!

To illustrate your work and make it more exciting, you can use pictures, videos, make a collage, or anything of the kind.

You can use any tool you prefer!
