- For our first assignment, we had to bring a chosen picture, from LIFE magazine or Nat Geo, and report about that picture, what could be our opinion and make the comment.
- My picture was from LIFE
- We made a discussion on almost each photograph and talked about humanity issues nowadays. The professor showed us an unreleased picture, it was taken this year, by a professional photographer near Africa. The picture was taken outside of a burned Catholic church, there were more than 50 people corps burned. The genocide was by Muslims hands. It was a shocking picture.
- We sang a song from Suzanne Vega. ..\..\..\..\Videos\Tom's Diner Suzanne Vega.wmv
- We also had learned from the book the passive and active voice, during writing. Which means that the sentence have a distinct structure but the same meaning voiced differently.
- Active voice: Focus on the person who perform the action
v subject + verb (+object): The flood covered the house.
- Passive voice: Focus on the person or thing that receives or is the result of an action.
v be + past participle: My house has been covered by the flood.
- We also studied how useful can be a brainstorming.
- We could distinguish between the a topic sentence and the controlling idea on a paragraph.
- Topic sentence: is an essential part of all well-written paragraph.
- Controlling idea: is the idea you want to explain, illustrate or describe the paragraph.
