WebQuest Assignment: Aid to Africa?


Skills focus:
Close reading/Critical thinking
Paragraph writing/Paraphrasing

Task:
Use the research you've completed as part of the WebQuest to answer the following question:




“Could stopping all aid to Africa actually help end poverty?"

Write a well-structured paragraph or two (topic sentence with a controlling idea, supporting sentences and concluding sentence) of no more than 200 words in which you support one side of the above question by showing the weaknesses in the other side. Refer to the TASK and EVALUATION sections of the WebQuest for more details and marking criteria.

DUE MONDAY, 26th NOVEMBER BEFORE OUR CLASS.

Please POST your paragraph to the blog:
1. Go to www.blogger.com/start and sign in to your blog account.
2. Click on New Post in the upper right corner next to your address.
3. Type “Aid to Africa?” into the title field.
4. Draft your paragraph and make sure it’s well-written before copying it into the message field. You can click Preview to see how it will look.
5. Highlight your topic and concluding sentences in two different colours. Do not change the font colour of the supporting sentences/main body of the paragraph.
6. In the “Labels” field, type your section followed by a comma (,) and your first and last name (EXAMPLE: 149.03, Sonja Tack). Use Turkish characters where appropriate. This will help you and others to find your blogs easily. (For your information: 149.01=Nurhan Yentürk; 149.03=Çiğdem Çelik; 149.04=Ege Yazgan)
6. Click on Publish Post.
7. Go to View Blog to see your contribution.
8. NB: If you do not follow these instructions precisely, you will not receive credit for your post.

Happy writing!
