Portfolio entry #2: Advice on Academic Writing

Lee iv presentation de luzfernndez9

Considering that sometimes, we, as students, are asked to write different kinds of texts without being taught about how to make them. I think the given activity is totally useful.

Personally, once I had read the whole material, I made a summary, then, I paste it on my presentation in order to modify it. Owing to the fact that we will need data regarding academic writing throughout the year, it is essential to have the key information. By doing so, we will be able to re-read it again as many times as we need.

Regarding on the digital tools, I must confess that I am a digital analphabet. Due to the fact that I cannot manage them at all, I find it difficult when the activities depend on the use of them. However, as future teachers and taking into account the current global pandemic, we should consider that these ICT tools are crucial in order to enhance and facilitate learning. Consequently, these types of activities show me that I have a lot of tools at my disposal, ready for being used in my classes.

In the beginning, I did not know which application was the best one for me. Then, I decided to use the presentations provided by Google. At first, I did not know where the fonts were or how to change the wallpaper. Later, I revised every single option to improve it. Even though I have never used them until now, it has not been difficult at all. I know it is not the best one but I am gratified with it.

Portfolio Entry #7: Writing and Academic Writing

One of the primary things that a teacher should think before giving a writing task is the stages that it involves. The first one is the pre-writing task in which we have to design a task step by step. That implies thinking about the subskills students will need, such as topics, background knowledge, vocabulary, grammar, discourse, etc. For instance, if the focus is on the topic we can ask the students what are they going to write about and, what notions they want to reflect on the writing. Besides, we can use associograms to help them brainstorm, prompts by including images, music, or interviews which help them to contextualize what they are going to write. All of them are fruitful for generating ideas, topics, or building vocabulary for their writing. The second stage is during-writing. While students write, the teacher has to give guidance in order to improve their writing, for example, he/she can ask what caused the event they are writing about or help them to describe the ma...

“Almost all good writing begins with terrible first efforts. You need to start somewhere.” – Anne Lamott “You don't have to burn books to destroy a culture. Just get people to stop reading them.” ― Ray Bradbury ‘"Far and away the best prize that life offers is the chance to work hard at work worth doing." — Theodore Roosevelt Welcome to my blog! I included these quotes to share with you, which I think reflect what we have learned throughout these years in this subject . That is the process in which we get involved, learning by try and error about language, culture, and teaching . I hope you like it!

Porfolio Entry #9: Writing Project: Refugees

via GIPHY We refugees by Benjamin Zephaniah We Refugees | A Benjamin Zephaniah Poem from Red Café on Vimeo . The poem “we can all be refugees”, written by Benjamin Zephaniah, faces us to the reality of many people around the world. The author of the poem mentioned some reasons by which he, like other people, was tortured, for instance, singing a song, praying for a different God, or having black skin were source of discrimination. The refugees as well as our ancestors had to move on to different places because of political, religious, cultural, natural, or war conflicts. As the poem mentioned, we can all be refugees due to the fact that we did not just appear. All of us descend from migrants, which means that the world is shaped by people from many places who had to change their lives radically to start again in a different place, that is why all of us can be refugees. Therefore, Zephaniah described those who tortured and discriminated him as “his brother in his land” because he s...
