TASK PREPARATION RELATED TO NEWS ARTICLES .
When reading the articles you selected it is very convenient to take notes, these will
provide you with a focus.
Remember that you need to understand well the articles before taking notes or
while taking notes.
After that you will plan your argumentative essays (TWO OF THEM). The title is
free but should be very closely related to the title of the article and/or the
notes.
Each of the essays should contain between 400 and 500 words and should be
uploaded onto the AULA VIRTUAL. Upload the two as a single pdf doc.
More importantly, think carefully about paragraphing and proper use of
transition words if needed.
And MEET THE DEADLINES
