The 12th Week

Dear all, (https://ctld.webex.com/meet/syying.lee)

Since our 12th week, we formally step into the final part of this curriculum: the making of SDGs related Digital Storytelling. I have realized that several of our students have registered to join the SDGs English Presentation Contest at the LC. I hope you start a new topic. If you'd like to extend what you do for this presentation to the DST project for this course, there will be a new format to adapt to and more explanations to provide. You'll see through how the progress report may guide you and learn from the examples I have shown before. 

Tomorrow, due to the pandemic situation, we'll have another online session. We'll begin with an invited speaker, Cathy Lin, a marketing director very professional at creating promotional videos, who is going to talk about how to make your video more effective.  We'll start at 9:20. for one hour.

For the rest of the time, we'll continue our writing lesson: Argumentation. Through reading and discussing the content and structure of the sample essay, you'll learn how to structure your arguments with evidence. I also believe this practice will help you write the 3rd essay. Comparing and contrasting as a means of analysis are often used with arguing and reasoning. Though you don't have to practice writing persuasive essays, we'll do it through outlining and debating (not formally).

If time allows, we'll spend some time reviewing the SDGoals, and more examples from an international contest. 

See you in the air!
