19/10 Class

In class we viewed our summaries, analyzed a few of them and we are going to rewrite them for Monday. Don't forget you are supposed to e-mail your summaries to our teacher's e-mail.

(written this way for spam avoidance, make sure you write it correctly)

Make sure you paraphrase hard to understand words and quote important parts of your articles!

17/10 Class

We got some information and handouts about summarizing and we were given an assignment to summarize an article we are going to use for our research paper. Try to use information given in the handouts for the summaries.

We missed 12/10 and 15/10 Classes due to our teacher's illness but we are going to have some make up classes in order to catch up.

10/10 Class

Today we concentrated on how to make summaries and we started working on making a summary for an article we've found for our research paper.

Before summarizing:
1) Read the article fast
2) Go through the article again carefully
3) Highlight the important parts

We'll continue next time.

Oh a notice- We are going to hang out in glyfada this Friday at around 19:00, i hope everyone joins us.
(I'll be a bit late, i got classes till 18:00)

08/10 Class

Today we talked about SPQ - Summarizing Paraphrasing and Quotating

Again, if you missed class make sure you get some copies of the papers we got today.

Don't forget we are supposed to bring an article to analyze in the next class.

I'll need some more comments guys!
Cmon it's so easy ;p

Heya!

Today we were given some papers about the research paper, we had some absences so if you weren't in class make sure to ask for a copy! Oh, and add in the papers that you need to have in your final research paper your draft and 10 note cards you decided not to include in the end.

We also talked about making a word club... Hmm... I hope I get the time for that...

Let's do some activity altogether too!
Personally I'd like to try some paintball or something...

Hmm so to make things easier for people who want to find out what to write in their comments... What would you like to do?

My vote's for paintball~
(Had so many friends saying how cool it is never had the chance to try it myself!)

What do you guys think? What's your suggestion?
Also you may contact me at aeon7 ( at) hotmail (d ot) com if you have an MSN Messenger account for anything you might need~

03/10 Class

Today we discussed the bibliography which would be appropriate for each essay.

For example, for a topic like Legalized Gambling it's easy to find information in psychology books and weekly magazines whereas for a subject like Divorced parents sociology books would provide much information.

If you want suggestions on where to get more resources for your paper place a comment here and let's discuss.

01/10 Class

New Month, a step closer to 2008... to be honest I don't really want 2007 to end.

Today~ We analyzed yet the parts of our argumentative research paper.

We concentrated on the opposing oppinions of our paper- how we should accept and refute it successfully. We mentioned we should avoid using words like "never" "always" "everyone" "noone" etc.

I hope you visited the library by now, if not you should soon, although I think I shouldn't have borrowed 5 books already- you can only keep em for 2 weeks after all and I only had the chance to read almost one of them.

Just click on "add comment" in order to say anything to wish in this blog, or ask how you can add your very own entry posts as well.

Till next time~
