As it was commented in class, this post will be evaluated with a full grade, not with points.

The evaluation criteria will focus on 3 aspects, i.e.

1. The Task: if all aspects of the task are very well handled (If you answer the questions and if there is a transition between one point and the next. Therefore, the use of connectors, pronouns,and punctuation will be taken into account.

2.The Lexical resources (vocabulary) used.

Beware of parallel structure and avoid run-on sentences

CHECK ON THE WEB:

Finally, it`s important to remind you that any evidence of having used "copy and paste" or Google`s translator will cause immediate failure of the task (or a 1.0).


YOU SHOULD FINISH THE TASK IN CLASS. NEVERTHELESS, IF FOR ANY REASON YOU`RE NO ABLE TO FINISH, THE TASK`S DEADLINE IS TODAY MIDNIGHT. After this deadline, you will be discounted one point for each day of tardiness.
