Hi all,
Sorry for the late announcement for the Week III tasks; but, do not worry about it. The deadline for the tasks will be extended as well. You are responsible for the following tasks this week.
1. Write an essay on one of the topics below (Deadline is Saturday, 1 p.m. – This deadline is important because the second task is related to the first one)
a. If you could change three important things about the department, what would you change? Use reasons and specific examples to support your answer.
b. If you had the opportunity to visit a foreign country for two weeks, which country would you choose? Why?
c. Some people trust their first impressions about a person’s character because they believe these judgments are generally correct. What do you think about the first impression?
2. Comment on at least one of your friends’ essay in terms of organization of his/her essay on the following topics:
a. How is the introduction? Is it well organized? Is thesis statement clear and well developed?
b. Do the topic sentences support the thesis statement? Do you think there is an order among the topic sentences of each body paragraph?
c. Evaluate the essay in terms of unity and coherence.
d. What do you think about the conclusion? Did s/he summarize the whole essay, or paraphrase the thesis statement? Is it well organized?
Good luck with the tasks of the third week. By the way, most probably, we will have the Internet connection in our classroom this week. We may start using Second Life and the other tools in the classroom. Thus, please come to class having completed your membership procedures for all tools we will use.
See you on Monday.
Best wishes,
Sedat Akayoglu
