A. Searching identity


The following activities aim at making it clear for the students that the texts studied have a purpose and a social function, they are presented in a relatively steady way regarding the use of vocabulary, grammar and organization. It is also part of our objectives to get students to reflect upon the concept of identity. 

  1. Read the following texts and search for clues on what kind of texts they are and what the purpose is.
  2. How do these profiles show their owner's identity and how they see themselves?
  3. Which words best caracterize these people? Do you think they are common in this kind of text?
  4. Would you see yourself or one of your mates in the same way? 
  5. How do you talk about yourself when you fill in a profile? Does it matter? Why?


PS: Remember to consider all aspects of the text, which include the pictures, choices of communities, favorite links, etc.

  1. Achei bem legal toda a organização do blog. A ideia de condensar tudo aqui é bem legal. Normalmente a gente cria diferentes atividades que acabam se dispersando. Aqui fica tudo organizadinho.Bem legal!!Acho que durante o curso não vai dar tempo de fazer tudo. Porém como trabalho num escolha bem pequena, podemos fazer um trabalho de equipe que possa ser usado por diferentes alunos. Já lancei a ideia lá e o pessoal gostou!
