Final Project: Creating a blog for Workshop III

Problem:

What would you do if you faculty advisor asks you to show what you have learned in English this semester in a blog and later explain it to your classmates in very interactive way?

This is an easy and rather weird question. You have this awkward problem and you need to solve this before the semester ends. You have to get a good solution for this question.

What would you do to design a good blog? Do you know how to make a blog? What topics related to the content learned throughout the semester would you include? Would you add music, videos, pictures, calendar, watch, etc? Would you use an original template?

There are some steps you´ll have to carry on to get to a good solution. In the first place: Get a partner. Then, read the instructions carefully. After that, get to work.

There are four main steps to start making up your mind before you present it to the class.

• Identify the problem: What the problem is? What you know and don´t know about the problem.
• Investigate: You have to learn what you don´t know to solve this. Agree with your partner how to give a good solution to this problem. (July 21st) ( At the end of the class you have to provide a short oral report of your decisions).
• Solve the problem. With your partner decide how to answer the question. ( July 28th and 31st)
• Present the results to the class. (August 4th)

Evaluation: Solution to the problem 40 Interactive Presentation 40 and Attendace to class (4app) 20

Development: Give a context to your paper: the problems you are facing every day in your like as neighbors. What´s going on with city problems in daily life? How are the people in charge solving them? How do we behave with the problems? Are we somehow responsible? Do some of them have a solution? Why did you choose these problems? Are the solutions possible ?

Conclusions: Is this topic something necessary to talk about? Is it important for you to reflect and think about the problems and solution in the place where you live? Are you an active member or your community or just an spectator? What have you learned from this activity?

What kind of problems are there in your neighboorhood?

The 2nd activity for this course is :

1st Watch the place where you live. Brainstorm the problems you face everyday in your neighborhood. Use there is, there are, not enough as it is in Unit 2 of Interchange.

A Time to Remember!!!

Hi everyone: This week we will be dealing with our best childhood or high school memories.!!
Remember to post a brief description about yourself following the ideas you talked about in class.

Write a pragraph about things you used to do as a child. Use the ideas we talked about in class and follow this model.

When I was four years old, my family moved to Australia. We had an old two-story house and a big yard. My older brother and I used to play lots of games together. In the summer, my favorite outdoor game was soccer.
