WHICH  TOOLS? HOW TO PRESENT YOUR REFLECTIONS?

This is the link to a description which I have prepared for you ( pdf document ): just  chose one or more pictures and describe  it or  them and  share  your  ideas about what they  represent:


SAMPLE WRITING



You can choose to submit a document on line  by using  Google-Drive and share the document with me  or  better you could use  Pastie  - this is the link   PASTIE.

This is the link I have prepared with a simple description of the use of PASTIE and  a text which is similar to the sample writing  I have submitted you:


http://pastie.org/private/jkesrc6v7smkeqnujg2ng



How to use  Pastie:

Copy your text from your word processor or wherever you have written it, and paste it into Pastie. Click on the padlock to hide your text from people who are ‘browsing’ Pastie, and then press the create button. This will generate a page . Copy the URL from your browser’s address bar so that you can share it with your  teacher. Just send me the link and I will check your  writing. 

 Remember: this tool can be used only for writing. If you prefer to use a tool that enables you to  write a text and use  images  you  should use  GOOGLE DRIVE to create  a document on line  or  a presentation with  GOOGLESLIDES.

Remarkable facts about  WW1:

• Watch the video and write down the numbers you saw in your post: what have you learnt?

• What does this trailer tell you about the woman in the story?  Have you ever heard about  VERA BRITTAIN?

• Wilfred Owen : a  poet  who writes about  war

" The next  War".  What does he tell us also today? 

 

• Watch the video about  the men  who wrote about  WW1 : they were called   " war poets".  How did they feel about war? Did they  change their attitued towards war?

Watch the videos and  answer the questions about what you have learnt?  What idea of war  did people have at the beginning and how did they change?  Post your  reply and write  about  you learnt.
I have also prepared a special  chat on line where you can discuss the issues presented  and share your  impressions. You do not  need to register. It is up to you to choose which form you want to use to share ideas.
