Week 1: Course requirements
Welcome to the course!
Please have a look in the folder called STUDY
MATERIALS, especially the COURSE REQUIREMENTS in the ADMINISTRATION AND
CRITERIA folder.
We will start with your group "mini presentations" on the Pro-con topis you chose in the first session.
With
your group, you will rework your best arguments and conclusions into a short 5-6 minute-long
presentation. The format is up to you, i.e. it may be a simple talk or visual presentation and should represent the main arguments and main conclusions
you have arrived at as a group on any agreed upon topic. Feel free to include
any other extra research you may do on your topic (in addition to ProCon).

During the seminar

Before the seminar:
Task 1: Revisit and review "Week 3: Presentation skills" in Week 3 of the Interactive Syllabus, especially the part about handling questions (pg. 9).
Task 2: Think of a topic that you would like to cover in your semester presentation. Focus on a purpose statement and an introductory part i.e. describe the aim and reason for your talk and context, and why your audience should be interested in your presentation - you will do a short peer review and ask for some feedback. (Remember that by stating your
presentation’s purpose in the first few minutes, you shape your audience’s
expectations. This adds
to your credibility as a speaker).
Task 3: Please read the below handout (up to the end of page 3) and focus on Tasks 1, 2, 3

Presentations schedule and sign-up sheets
1) Please
finalize your topic selection for your individual presentations if you have not done so.
2) Choose the date / week for your presentation, and enter your name and the presentation title / topic into the sign-up sheet below:
Before the seminar: Leads (homework preparation)
The lead, or opening paragraph, is the most important part of a news
story. With so many sources of information – newspapers, magazines, TV, radio
and the Internet – audiences simply are not willing to read beyond the first
paragraph (and even sentence) of a story unless it grabs their interest. A good
lead does just that. It gives readers the most important information in a
clear, concise and interesting manner. It also establishes the voice and direction
of an article, and entices the reader to continue.
Tips for Writing a Lead
- The Five W’s and H:
Before writing a lead, decide which aspect of the story – who, what, when,
where, why, how – is most important. You should emphasize those aspects in
your lead. Wait to explain less important aspects until the second or
third sentence.
- Conflict: Good stories have conflict. So do many good
leads.
- Specificity: Though you are
essentially summarizing information in most leads, try to be specific as
possible. If your lead is too broad, it won’t be informative or
interesting.
- Brevity: Readers want to know why the story matters
to them and they won’t wait long for the answer. Leads are often one
sentence, sometimes two. Generally, they are 25 to 30 words and should rarely be more than 40.
- Active sentences:
Strong verbs will make your lead lively and interesting. Passive
constructions, on the other hand, can sound dull and leave out important
information, such as the person or thing that caused the action.
- Audience and context:
Take into account what your reader already knows. Remember that in today’s
media culture, most readers become aware of breaking news as it happens.
If you’re writing for a print publication the next day, your lead should
do more than merely regurgitate (repeat) yesterday’s news.
- Honesty: A lead is an implicit promise to your
readers. You must be able to deliver what you promise in your lead.
Task 1: Look
at the LEADS ppt. slides below to see some examples.
Task 2:
Please
start uploading your own relevant and current lead into the DF below (you may include the link
to the original story there), ask a follow-up question of two other students,
or just comment, and be ready to discuss it in class.
Note: this is one of your continuous tasks and needs to be completed until Week 8 (incl.)
Before the seminar
Study material for the seminar
There will also be in class presentations according to the schedule below:
LLL (Language Learning Log) Reminder
Please remember to start working on your Learning journal / LLL.
Tip: You can include new vocabulary that you have come across or you are processing.
About 10 words per week (for a total of over 100 by the end of term) are advised. The words or reflections in your log may be from this course or any other English text or experience you may encounter during the semester.
Your list of vocabulary can be processed in any number of ways: translation from your mother tongue, definitions, usage in a sentence, synonyms, antonyms, pronunciation, word families, etc.
You can also include some reflection on your learning (encountered during / or outside the seminar classes). For example, you can include some reflection on your group mini presentation (the preparation phase, team work and the actual delivery).

Extra material related to a summary writing
Task (optional): as a follow up on Week 7 seminar, you can do some research on SDGs goals at: Home - United Nations Sustainable Development (you can choose one of the goals and find out more information about what issues and challenges the goal tries to address and resolve and what we can do to fix these issues).
Those who missed seminar 7 can review the in-class slides in Week 7 of the IS.
Argumentative text (continuous) task
Instructions:
Write an argumentative text of about 170 to
220 words.
You may choose to structure your text into 3-4 short
paragraphs:
1)
the introduction with thesis
statement (introduction
of your two response points, i.e., what
the main argument of your essay is / your main claim) and background (the context for
your argument)
2)
arguments for or against, with
examples and evidence
For each of your response points, you should:
· a) make a
clear claim; and then
· b) give evidence
for that claim.
3) the conclusion (making a more general
statement and possibly stating your final position)
You may write your text on the assertion we covered (see Week 6 in the IS): Why I hate the news. OR Your
body language may shape who you are OR The power of introverts
OR Facebook’s role in Brexit: A threat to democracy OR a any other
source of your choice.
Most likely, your
response (to your selected original text /article, video, podcast etc. – whatever
you have chosen and summarized), will fall into one of the following categories:
·
You will
agree with the author and support your agreement with logic, (other sources, supporting
examples, and/or) personal experience.
·
You will
disagree with the author and back your disagreement up with logic, (other sources,
counterexamples, and/or) personal experience.
·
You will
agree with part of the author's points and disagree with others.
·
You will
agree or disagree with the author but feel that there is a more important or
different point that needs to be discussed in addition to what is in the original
text.
Please upload your texts into the vault provided in Week 6
Deadline: April, 16th.
