Collaborative Thinking.

We have been working on setting up our workspaces and reviewing the fundamentals of English learning.

 

  • Quizlet;
  • Hypothes.is;
  • Annotating;
  • Commenting and Replying;
  • Grammar overview;
  • Reading for meaning: analysis and evidence;
  • Text formats: the open response format as a basic academic structure; PRACTICE THIS FORMAT
  • MLA formatting;
  • Setting up a blog;
  • Group work; 
  • Collaborative thinking.

Today, I need to conference with as many of you as I can (MLA Essay feedback), so you will for the most part work independently. 

First, you will listen to the podcast “Lost in Translation” and follow along in the transcript. You will annotate the text using Hypothes.is. And you will begin your thinking about the four driving questions of this course in a mind mapping tool called Mindomo.
