Task 2: Narrowing the Topic, Trying One Technique for Gathering Ideas

Read 3 pages of an academic text related to your study programme.

• Underline the main points and ideas.
• Write down the key words you encounter.
• Then narrow the topic for a paragraph. It means you are expected to come up with a new topic which would be appropriate for one paragraph. You can check if it is a suitable topic by asking "Will I be able to write 5 - 10 sentences about it?".
• Finally, complete the pre-writing phase using the techniques of freewriting, making a list, or mapping, incl. editing. Editing means that you select the ideas you are going to include in your writing.
• Submit a photo of your work or a document here.
