For example, you may talk about the weather with someone while waiting for a meeting to start or the bus to come. Small talk topics to avoid: religion, sex, money, and politics. ]]> 2018-08-17 01:31:50 UTC https://padlet.com/miranda_marshall3/set759agfqq0/wish/273630376 miranda_marshall3 https://padlet.com/miranda_marshall3/set759agfqq0/wish/273630377 An idiom is a common phrase or saying that has a figurative meaning.  This means that the words cannot be taken literally.  For example:
"The ball is in your court." means:
It is up to you to make the next decision or step, not that you have an actual ball in a court. ]]> 2018-08-17 01:31:50 UTC https://padlet.com/miranda_marshall3/set759agfqq0/wish/273630377 miranda_marshall3 https://padlet.com/miranda_marshall3/set759agfqq0/wish/273630378 A reference sheet is a supplement to your resume.  You will put down names of people who are professional references (former bosses, supervisors, etc) who know how you work and personal references (coworkers, teachers, etc) who know how you are as a person.  Family members are NOT personal references.]]> 2018-08-17 01:31:50 UTC https://padlet.com/miranda_marshall3/set759agfqq0/wish/273630378 miranda_marshall3 https://padlet.com/miranda_marshall3/set759agfqq0/wish/273630379 The words an author uses give you insight into their tone, or their opinion/feelings towards a topic. Persuasive essays, or opinion essays, will have a more apparent use of tone than other types of writing. Some texts, such as in textbooks and manuals, try to have a neutral tone.]]> 2018-08-17 01:31:50 UTC https://padlet.com/miranda_marshall3/set759agfqq0/wish/273630379 miranda_marshall3 https://padlet.com/miranda_marshall3/set759agfqq0/wish/273630380 Pitfalls are dangers or difficulties that happen without warning or prior thought. For example, a pitfall to having an outdoor wedding in May would be that the wedding day might have rain. Sure, the wedding might be beautiful to think about - the trees, the sunshine, the flowers, etc - but rain is a potential pitfall that could ruin those thoughts.]]> 2018-08-17 01:31:50 UTC https://padlet.com/miranda_marshall3/set759agfqq0/wish/273630380 miranda_marshall3 https://padlet.com/miranda_marshall3/set759agfqq0/wish/273630381 We have been learning examples of academic language when we read articles in class.  Some examples we've learned so far are:  "According to the author/article," and "The author says...."  Can you think of other academic language examples we've seen this session?]]> 2018-08-17 01:31:50 UTC https://padlet.com/miranda_marshall3/set759agfqq0/wish/273630381 miranda_marshall3 https://padlet.com/miranda_marshall3/set759agfqq0/wish/273630382 When you are writing and want to refer to something an author or article says, you need to use academic language and correctly cite your source.

However, in education, you will find that professors want you to write an argument.  
In this case, they want you to give your opinion, but have resources to back up your opinion.  The video shows what an argument means and will give you practice in idioms and slang.  :)]]> 2018-08-17 01:31:50 UTC https://padlet.com/miranda_marshall3/set759agfqq0/wish/273630386 miranda_marshall3 https://padlet.com/miranda_marshall3/set759agfqq0/wish/273630387 We are learning about passive voice.

A passive verb is used to focus on what happens to the subject. A phrase of by + noun comes after the passive verb only if it's important to know who or what performs the action.
