Dear Students,

During Week 14, which began on 11/11, we focused on exploring and understanding Wikis. In class, we provided a framework for developing this type of collaborative writing, shared examples, and started working on creating a Wiki. This included establishing topics, scope, objectives, and more.

The submission deadline for the Wiki is set for the next week, prior to class. All related materials and resources can be found on the platform.

If you have any questions or need assistance, feel free to reach out.

Best regards,

JM

Hello everyone,

During the classes in Week 11, which began on October 21st, we delved into the theme of our unit titled "Some Issues of Gender." Our sessions focused on discussion and included a series of exercises to reinforce vocabulary and structure. We had a dynamic, communicative class where we could share ideas and explore perspectives on this topic from a social sciences angle. For asynchronous activities, we engaged in readings to deepen our understanding.

Remember, all materials are available on the platform. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out!

Dear Students,

I hope you're all doing well.

During last week's classes, I provided feedback on Essay 1 to help you understand areas for improvement. Additionally, we engaged in communicative and group-based investigative activities, where you had the opportunity to practice your speaking skills and work on constructing charts. The results of these exercises were then presented and discussed in the plenary session.

Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or need further clarification.

Dear Students,

I hope you're doing well.

Last week, we made significant progress in Unit 3, "Statistics and Data." Through a series of individual, pair, and group exercises, we covered the following:

• Describing charts and statistics, reporting data, and identifying statistical changes
• Various exercises and practice activities to solidify these skills

If you have any questions or need further clarification, feel free to reach out.

Dear Students,

Last week, we completed Essay 1 during our scheduled session, following our previous focus on writing body paragraphs, connecting ideas, and working on grammar and vocabulary activities. We also covered writing conclusions, proofreading, and editing, which helped finalize your essays.

I hope you feel confident with the work you've done, and if you have any questions or need further clarification, don’t hesitate to reach out.

Best regards,

Dear Students,

I hope you're doing well! Last week, we resumed our learning activities after the Fiestas Patrias break. We began by reviewing the pending homework that was completed independently during the class suspension. After providing feedback and going over these exercises, we moved on to writing-related matters with a series of group and individual activities.

We focused on the structure and organization of an academic essay, in preparation for the upcoming assessment. As part of this, we worked on a class research project and group presentation activity exploring different techniques and strategies for essay writing, used in universities like Duke and Harvard.

We agreed that at the start of our next session, we will briefly revisit this topic before moving forward with writing the essay, which is part of your course evaluations.

Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions.

Best regards,
JM
