November 18th lesson

Dear students,
Today is your mid-term test. Part one of the test will be to explain a chart or graph. This should take about 20 minutes and you should write at least 150 words. The second part of the test will be to write an essay of over 250 words, and this should take about 40 minutes.
You have 70 minutes to complete this IETLS-style test. Unlike IELTS tests, however, you will be graded only on the best of your two essays, not on the average of your two scores. It is up to you, therefore, whether you wish to attempt both parts, or focus only on one.
Citations are unnecessary, and you may not use a dictionary.
Kind regards,
Chris Elvin

Dear students,
Please upload your essay to the database using the link below.

You should then print out your receipt and staple it to the front of your final paper. Hand in your essay to me in class today. Your final paper assignment is worth fifty points.
Once the essays are collected, you will have a final ten-point test. This will be to summarize a story from one of today’s newspapers (either hardcopy or online), and include an opinion.
You should cite your source in APA and include an APA formatted reference. Write a multiple paragraph essay of at least 250 words.
Kind regards,

Dear students,
Today you should hand in your final paper in printed form, and show me the receipt of your submission to the university database. After you have all handed in your final paper, you will have a final exam. This test will be worth ten points.

You will have twenty minutes to summarize the information in the chart below in 150 words or more. You may not use a dictionary (but you will need to use your phone to access the blog post). Your summary will be graded using the following four criteria: task completion, cohesive devices, grammar, vocabulary.
