Writing Community

Hi everyone: As you know I take turns correcting different WAs. This time I thought we could share the feedback with the whole group. I have kept the paper anonymous and hope the rest are able to find the corrections if not useful at least relevant (i.e. to the point)

Ana´s Class on July 7th

Hi everyone,

This entry is just to clarify some possible misunderstandings about our last class this semester. The Mock Oral Test activity is going to take only some part of our class on July 7. You have to read the chapter in Brogan assigned last week. We´ll discuss it and Claudia will help you outline the main characteristics of 1960s. When we finish that, we´ll start with our mock oral test. We are re-arranging this class due to your request to do some mock oral tests during class-time since some of you cannot make it for tutorials. However, we are not deleting any content scheduled for July 7. Those students who can make it for the tutorial on July 7 they´ll take the mock oral test at 12.
Thanks.
See you, Ana

Ana´s Class and Tutorial June 15th

Hi everyone,

As the schedule clearly states we are dealing with WWII: Development (1939-41: First Stage) tomorrow in class. Bring all your reading materials (Ch 5 by Hobsbwam, Catchpole, B & Salomone, your maps). We are going to do a seminar class to sort out the chronology and main points of the period.
The tutorial after class is going to be devoted to the organization and preparation of TP6. Please, bring all the material (books, journal papers, dictionaries, etc), your laptop if you want, etc to work in class. Tutorials devoted to TPs are a time for you to reduce your work at home, avoid meeting after class and to profit from the assistance I can give, especially now we are racing against time to finish the term.
See you tomorrow,
Ana
