Today's double lesson will be dedicated to:
1) Finishing up on the topic: communication and media
2) Signing off on the rationales

Last lesson each student was given an article and they had to write a 150-word summary of it (i have doubts whether they have done this so the first part of the lesson (15 minutes) will be dedicated to them writing their summaries in Edmodo:
1) Who is the author and what is his/her intention?
2) Who is the audience?
3) What new information/knowledge have you acquired?
4) How successful is he/she in conveying his/her message?

Choose 10-15 key words/phrases from the text and put them on a poster.
These texts will be basis for the assessment of this topic.

In the second period students will share and discuss their rationales.
