Over the next week you should try and do at least 4 of the following (You MUST complete 2, 4 and 6 as part of your reflective journal). You can do these by hand and have them checked in person during class or you can email them through to me and I will check them and return them via email.
- Write a short reflection on dealing with the heat last week: reflect on how you felt, and suggest ways you could deal with
it better next time.
- Write a brief reflection on the best place you have eaten in Melbourne. You should make a recommendation about what to eat from the menu and try to persuade the reader that they should go there.
- Write a short piece to inform the reader about a film or book or website that helped you improve your vocabulary. If you can’t think of an example suggest other ways a student might improve their vocabulary, and explain why these other ways are useful.
- Read an article from The Economist, The Atlantic, or from QZ – reflect on the language used, and the whether you think reading sources like this is better for your English than reading something like MX.
- Over the weekend, write a reflection on your group work to date- How has it progressed? have there been any issues? could your group work better together?
- On Australia Day, write a short reflection about how you might have changed since you came to Australia and think about whether
you would recommend Australia to other people as a place to live/immigrate to. Explain why.
