GRAMMAR & COMPOSITION
Hello everyone!!
This is a note to remind you activities done in class so far and about the ones to come:
GRAMMAR
* UNIT 19: USAGE GLOSSARY
In class, we reviewed the entries suggested in the book to avoid grammatical errors when choosing between two words that are often confused.
Exercises done in class:
Ex.1 page 651 / ex.2 p.653 / ex.3 p.655 / ex.4 p.658 / exs. 5 and 6 p.660 and ex. 7 p.661.
COMPOSITION
* TOPIC: TEENS AND SEX
In class, we have discussed how related these two topics are connected, besides videos and songs were watched to generate discussions and ideas to develop an argument-ed opinion.
The objective of this week classwork was to develop an essay supporting or contradicting one of the following quotes about PROSTITUTION. Your text should have an introduction stating your opinion on the topic, a body in which you explain what prostitution is for you and how you support or contradict the quote you chose, and a concluding paragraph reaffirming your position. The quote have to be part of the text or written before your analysis.
Choose one:
* "Prostitution happens to you because of troubles you had. In reality no woman would choose to do that."
Catherine Deneuve (Actress/ feminist/ French)
* "When prostitution is a crime, the message conveyed is that women who are sexual are "bad," and therefore legitimate victims of sexual assault. Sex becomes a weapon to be used by men."
Margot St.James (Ex-prostitute/ feminist/ American)
* "Corruption is worse than prostitution. The latter might endanger the moral of and individual, the former invariably endangers the morals of the entire country."
Karl Krauss (Journalist/ satirist/ Austrian)
This ESSAY should be handed in next week class.
Regards,
Teacher Iliana
