Synthesising
Assessment: Local research project
Tell us in words or pictures (or video) how your group is going and what next?
Your video, report and advertising image is due at the end of Week
Nobel Prize synthesis activity
When we say "reflect" we mean pretend to observe yourself doing the activity: what you were thinking and feeling at the time, and any realisations you had about yourself as a learner.
Editing, adding visuals, and referencing
Using your class work as your draft, type up your paragraph. Make sure to include your in-text citations.
If you came to the Endnote workshop, or you use other reference management software, you might like to do this in Word and snip it to here, because we want in-text and end text references.
Edit it if you like (I honestly don't know how anyone could NOT, but maybe that's just me).
Find an image that adds value to your paragraph (use images from the creative commons, not ones you have to pay for (there is a filter).
Include a reference list at the bottom of your paragraph, that includes all the news articles you cited and the image.
Give your paragraph a title (catchy but no clickbait)
Put it all on the slide
Title
Paragraph
References
Image
Consider another perspective
Practise this process again; this time you don't have to rush.
(In lieu of cutting up pieces of paper, dot points work quite well for organising ideas so you get good logical flow.)
You can use any of the articles in the LMS for Workshop 9, but it must be related to the 3 topics we looked at in class.
You can change topics or choose a different perspective on the same topic (it doesn't have to be opposite, just different - this is a form of critical analysis: exploring different perspectives).
Write a paragraph to express your thoughts on a topic
Your topic sentence should be a debatable claim
Synthesise evidence from the news articles (at least 3) into your paragraph to support your argument.
Include in-text citations and a reference list.
Add a title and an image (or figure/graph).
Digital skills
What apps, programs or websites would you like to be able to use but can't, or you would like to be BETTER at?
What do you want to be able to do? (Not the app itself, for example "Outlook", rather what do you want to use the app to do? For example, "talk to my family")
What might you do about it?
Express yourself however you like on the slide.
Well-being check in
how to ask and answer the question "how are you?"
Tell us how you are feeling, in your own language. Then you better tell us what it means, or at least what language it is in
