Week 1

• On this week, we coughed up with the professor about our kills and what he had learned during last quarter.
• Also we start by making comments about media, and how this affects peoples lives. On the first unit of the book “Untruth and Consequences” (English, A. and Monahon, L.. 2009) we learned new concepts of how media works, the differences between journalist and reporters, and how they sensationalize the news, to make the audience interested or to have more coverage. 
• When we describe or comment about some news, we have to be very careful about what and how we are going to report, the story needs to have an impact and has to be reliable.
• In order to have a good writing skills, the professor gave us a tip to find synonyms of different words. One example was  to describe what can we do with or eyes: blink, cry, watch, look, etc. as well with other parts of our body.
• On the last part of the class we had to create a short report of a random news, real or invented, and give it to the professor as a writing test.
