Assignment 5 (3-7 Nov) Let's go to the cinema!

Gone with the wind... , Singing in the rain... , Psicosis... , 2001 A space oddisey... , The exorcist... , Cabaret... These are some big, big names in the history of films. Have you seen any of these films? Do you have a favourite film? When did you last go to the cinema?

This week's blog assignment is to write about a movie you have seen recently. (Minimum 200 words) Make sure to:

  • Say who stars in the film.
  • Give a short outline of the plot. (What is it about?)
  • Mention the good and weak points of the film.

Would you reccomend it? How would you rate it?: A must see? Good? Just fair? I want my money back?

I look forwards to reading your reviews.

Assignment 4. Everybody let's blog!

Hi everybody!
This time you're expected to write, in a minimum of 200 words, an evaluation or criticism of one of your classmates' blog spot.

You may want to include the following:

  • Why you like it/dislike it.
  • Strengths and weaknesses.

Consider the quality of the posts, layout, colours, photos, links, etc.
It would be a good idea to include some comments on your favourite/least favourite post (don't be too harsh, though, ha, ha, ha!!).


I hope you get a lot done!

Assignment 2. Let's get down to it

Hi everyone!
The blog assignment for this week requires that you browse through the internet to find an appropriate career-related article from The Guardian or a similar quality paper/source.
Once you have found an article, summarise it (120-150 words minimum).
Remember:
  • Do not plagiarise!! That is to say, write it in your own words.
  • Make sure to provide a link.
  • The main ideas are usually found at the beginning of each paragraph.

Take care!
Juan
