This week find another academic text from your field of study (10-20 standard pages).
Focus on vocabulary: underline, check with a dictionary.
Prepare a word document with copied extracts/sentences from your text containing 10-15 new/inspiring/useful/academic words from your text. Highlight the new vocabulary and translate it into Czech.
Write a short summary (150 -200 words) of the whole text in Czech or English. Include it in one document together with the vocabulary.
Upload the original text (ideally with the highlighted words - depending on your technological possibilities).
Create a quiz in the quizlet app and share it via the forum with your groupmates.
Practice the Academic Word List vocabulary (sublists 1-5) and get ready for a short online quiz.

Please upload a document containing the extracts from the text containing the 10-15 new/inspiring/useful/academic words which you have highlighted. In the same document, include a summary of the second text you have found for this course. Write ca 150-2O0 words. Write your summary in English unless you prepare for the Academic Reading exam; in that case, use Czech in order to practice for the exam. Please follow the same guidelines as in the previous summary. Make sure your text is spell-checked. Please upload your original text (or a link) as well as your summary.
