Dear students,

Our next assignment is "Writing a review". Instructions can be found on Smartschool (Engels 3 - Taken - Week 20/4/2020). Through this assignment we will work on several learning goals we still need to achieve this year, such as giving feedback on each other's writing tasks.

However, in order to complete the assignment, you should be aware of plagiarism and even more... you should master the technique of paraphrasing to avoid plagiarism.

So, let's get into that first! Just follow the steps / slides of this online lesson.  

--> Some slides have a colour code:

GREEN = extra exercises (in case you need more practice/explanation)

--> all the other slides / questions / video tutorials / ... (the ones without a colour code) are OBLIGED.

In case something is unclear, you can always contact me through Smartschool or we talk about it in our online session on Monday.

Rgds and ... stay safe,

Mrs Buytaert
