In line with the instructions received from the Dean, we will adapt the course plan of B2.1 to the current circumstances.
Within the next couple of weeks, you will be receiving feedback on your final versions of the argumentative essay (on the topic of "Growing up") and of your personal essay (on the topic of "Fear"). When we meet again, you will receive feedback on the test you wrote last Tuesday, 10 March.
In the meantime, your task until 26 March is to  work on your oral presentations. At the moment, we cannot say whether there will be time for you to present them as "oral presentations" later in the semester, so my suggestion is that you work on them in written form. Your two tasks for this period are therefore:

1. Choose a topic (see instructions on pages 7-8 in your booklet) and submit your proposal by Tuesday, 17 March; You will then receive feedback by Thursday, 19 March;
2. Send in a first draft of your script by 26 March.

Further instructions / suggestions:

• The topics are deliberately broad so that you can adapt them to your interests; you may choose to approach a given topic from a more general / abstract point of view (i.e. in the form of an argumentative essay) or in a more particular way, using a personal incident, a story, a film, or interviews with family or friends as your starting point (thus adopting the format of a personal essay);
• check the guidelines on How to Write an Argumentative Essay (pp. 64-67 in your booklet) and How to Write a Personal Essay (p. 68); they will be useful even when presenting your views orally and will definitely be useful when preparing your written draft;
•  feel free to be creative in your writing and in your use of other media such as video, if you so wish.

Should you have any queries, please let me know.
