Motivatiemotor
➜ Maak een tegel aan in Egodact. Beschrijf daarin waarom je deze quest tot een goed einde zou willen brengen.
1b. Verderkijker
DON'T FORGET TO WRITE THIS ALL IN ENGLISH
In deze quest ga je ontdekken dat er veel landen zijn met grote problemen. Hoe je deze problemen oplost is altijd een grote vraag die jullie gaan proberen te antwoorden.
➜ Opdrachten staan in zo'n grijs blok als deze. Lees die eerst goed voor je die gaat maken. Hier is je eerste opdracht:
Schrijf in het Engels onder "verderkijker" in je egodact tegel drie maatschappelijke problemen in Nederland die jij denkt opgelosd moeten worden. Heb je al een idee over hoe je dat zou kunnen doen? Schrijf dat ook maar op. Schrijf minimaal 4 zinnen.
DON'T FORGET TO WRITE THIS ALL IN ENGLISH
1c. Braindump
What do you know already? Dump it!
Write a minimum of four sentences about problems that you see in the Netherlands already. What are some social and societal problems that need to be fixed? How can you fix these? Dump your brain here.
2. Research Essay
2a. Onderzoek
Onderzoek
Look at what you wrote for the assignment under step 1: "verderkijker." You wrote about three social problems in the Netherlands that need to be fixed, in your opinion. Still having trouble finding inspiration for this? Look at some examples below:
The housing market crisis
Jobs/unemployment
Immigration
Discrimination
Nog meer:
Below, you will find some videos and articles showing social problems from around the world. You are going to write an essay where you compare the three social problems you came up with from The Netherlands to social problems from other countries.
Watch the videos below and choose three societal problems from these countries to compare to the problems in the Netherlands. Write these three societal problems down in egodact.
First, watch this video and decide whether you are going to write a beginner, intermediate or advanced comparative essay. Remember, you are comparing societal problems in the Netherlands and another country, so your essay should also try to answer: how can these problems be solved? So remember to compare the two problems in the counties but also offer up advice and solutions.
Next, make an outline for your essay. What are the three societal problems you are writing about from the Netherlands? What are the three societal problems of the other country? What are you going to say at the beginning of your essay in the first paragraph (intro) and the last paragraph (conclusion)?
Finally, write your essay! It should be a minimum of 8 paragraphs. 1 intro paragraph, 6 body paragraphs (the comparisons), and 1 conclusion paragraph. You may write it on paper or type it.
Are you CONFUSED? Does this make no sense at all? Make sure you sign up for one of the blox in the first two weeks of the period. In these bloX, Mr. Baldwin will show you methods of writing a good essay and coach you through your essay writing. You must come to at least one of these bloX.
2c. Reflective journal
Reflective journal
➜ Fill in your reflective journal in Egodact with answers to the following questions:
Question 1. Do you have personal experience with the problems you researched here in this essay? Yeah? Write at least four sentences about your experiences. No? Write at least four sentences about how you think teenagers experience this.
Question 2. How did you work through the difficulty of English grammar while writing your essay? Write 4 sentences or more about this. Did you use an English spelling check while writing? Did that help you? Or did you write it without a spell check first and check the grammar later? Was there a grammar rule that you struggled with?
Question 3. How did you use your leerspier reflective for this quest? Did you need to reflect a lot over how you feel about these problems? Write 4 sentences about this.
3. Research Vlog
3a. Onderzoek
Vlog/short film
Now that you have had some practice comparing two different counties to each other, you are going to make a vlog/short film about the social and societal problems in Albania.
Now, go search online to see if you can find where Albania struggles in these societal areas:
1) Jobs and livelihood: what’s in it for me, brain drain or stay and build a future, digital transition
2) Migration & Integration: mobility, respect, inclusivity and human rights
3) Democratic processes: voting as right, freedom of speech, digitalisation, fake news, social media, privacy
Write at least four sentences per problem, so you need to write 12 sentences minimum. also, list your sources (websites) where you got the info. You can write this on paper or type it. This will be your script for your vlog/short film.
3b. Verwerking
Verwerking
You use the facts that you searched for from Albania's societal problems and you make a vlog/short film giving advice about how Albania might fix these problems. This vlog/video will be sent to other Secondary School students in Albania, so make it professional!
Use a video editing program to create this film/video. This needs to be at least 5-10 minutes in length and you need to dive deep into how Albania might fix these problems. You could, for example, videotape yourself talking about these problems and the solutions you propose, or you could make a short film with clips and do a voice-over where you explain how Albania could solve these problems. Make sure you sign up for the bloX in the 3rd and 4th work week of the period. I am going to show you some techniques that will help you with this and making professional videos.
