Hello,dear all. We´re back to virtual business. First of all, I want to address those who were absent to class last week. I handed out material to work with during these two weeks, which some friends of yours very kindly saved for you. Those who kept the copies for the absentees, please, contact your friends as soon as possible.
You will read the texts in the order they appear below :
1. "The Constitution: the system of government".
2."Forming a government"
3. "Parliament"(Unit 2)
4. "Parliament. Making new laws: Bills and Acts"
By July 14th, you´ll have completed the following assignment:
1. Read " The constitution.." and answer questions 1, 2, 3 and both questions on the discussion section.(Mind you, these are to be done on your own)
2. Read "Forming..." and do exercises 1 and 2.
Note: "Election Fever" should be read and done for the first class after holidays.
3. Send answers to dolferlife@gmail.com
By July 17th you will send me your second assignment on the parliament.
1. Read "The Parliament" (Unit 2) and complete ex. 2.
2. Read "Making new laws" and answer all the questions.
3. Send answers to dolferlife@gmail.com
Finally, I´d like to add a comment on the Personal Project. Those who were absent last week, and could not contact your tutor and hand in the draft on time, you must do so. If you enter your tutor´s blog you´ll find his or her mail address. Most probably,those who handed in on time, will be receiving comments on the draft from your tutor. You should use this time to start working on the corrections. Remember next deadline is on August 27th, which means you´ll only have three weeks after holidays. Besides, I don´t want to sound like a joy killer, those weeks will be busy with tests.
Talking about tests, you can jot down in your agenda our next test on August 20th (C) and 21st (D).The topics as I told in class will be The Monarchy, The Government and Parliament.
Well, that´s all for now. Keep well and work hard.
Dolores
