Aim: Read your forum outline and create a short essay

Method: Follow these steps

• Add your title
• Add b)
• Create 2 body paragraphs Reason 1 (paragraph 1 – 65 words); Reason 2 (paragraph 2 – 65 words)
• As part of your body paragraphs – recognize the opposing viewpoints / and others opinions. We often use common knowledge, but that means also in more serious situations we can research the information to consider the viewpoints or the opinions

Note* If you have a strong opinion about something, use both common knowledge and research

What does recognize mean? and how do we write about it

Fast Food: opposing viewpoints

• fast food is quick and easy to purchase and eat – credit / merit
• fast food is usually pre-cooked or prepared, and reheated or cooked in oil bases – demerit

Although fast food is often pre-cooked or cooked in oil, it is easy to purchase and eating fast food is very convenient

Fast Food: peoples opinions

• some people think its okay to eat fast food every now and then (not often)
• some people think that you should never eat fast food
• some people don’t really care

Although some people may eat fast food regularly, I think that you should take care and only eat fast food occasionally

Wednesday: Introduction and Conclusion

Aim: to complete a short essay with cross referencing, which focuses on these several objectives: Introduction and Conclusion outline;

Objective 1: Introduction – write a draft introduction to:

• identify the main points (information in body paragraphs)
• identify some similar or differences for each body paragraph (main points)
• give an opinion statement (one sentence) about the topic

Objective 2: Conclusion – write a draft conclusion to:

• summerize what the subject is about
• mention some interesting point or fact or opinion about the information you researched
• restate your final opinion
• give the significance for knowing more about this topic

Aim: To support information you research; to gain more knowledge about the topic or subject

Cross Reference: It is important to use additional information to support or to increase the information we are exploring and learning about. We cannot rely on one source of information or one persons opinion. We must support information with supportive information, as well as to know and understand differences such as opinions. Q. how do we use cross referencing in assignments?

Video example: https://youtu.be/z0J2VELZ4RU

Procedure: A Take notes and make a list of key vocabulary (specialised words), and other main points; things to think about;

1. Is there a similar point(s) of information that supports your website information
2. Is there additional information (extra information) that you can use to include in your essay
3. Is there different information that can help you include good ideas into your paragraph(s)

Teacher example:

1. By using the same source of information, or different sources of information
2. Or by relying on the internet for current or up to date as a source of recent information, for example Websites or Google Scholar
3. To back up or support information we previously researched
4. To support or expand information such as statistics, current issues, or other main points, as well as opinions
5. To add credibility to information we want to use

Method: In this class you will search the internet for information to support your main ideas – YouTube video. Search for short videos explaining what a topic is. Use a simple search to find a good video, and I recommend that you use a video that has the transcript available.

Aim: Select a subject from the academic list, which you know nothing about; learn how to explore a subject for the first time, using the rounded process or overview process – you will use different media.

Media options:

• YouTube : first option is to watch short videos and learn about the subject; you can find direct videos explaining the topic.
• Library : finding material / factual based resources are two reasons why we can and should visit the library. It is supportive!
• Google Scholar : To search for specific sources of information to learn more deeply about a topic / subject / study

Class 18th

YouTube activity: follow these steps

1. Find a video that explains in 1 to 2 minutes your subject

3. Begin your paragraphs, but you can not finish them; about 30-40words
