Monday Morning's Assignment

This week we will consider the theme of Skills for Life. Just a quick announcement, though: at 10 a.m. we're going back to our classroom for a workshop on Employment Rights. Also, please pay your $16 fee for tomorrow's field trip activity to your instructor before lunch.



Here are the tasks:

1. What do you think the most important skills are for your new life in Canada? Is it to pick up the phone? Is it to express your disagreement to an officer about a parking ticket? Is it to understand a letter from CRA? Or to email your local councillor?
1. Think of the top 3 tasks for each of the four language skills (LSRW).
2. Talk to a partner about your total list of 12 tasks, and compare your lists.
3. Publish your partner's list on your blog and say why you agree or disagree with it.
2. Make corrections on the printout of your blog writing using the editing checklist, and update your blog with the corrected version. Make sure the before and after versions are clearly seen.
3. Bonus Activity: Only when you've completed all of the above, you may take this survey. A four-step guide is available. If asked, the class name and class code are: LINC 4-5 and ON-00060-1.
