 * Last class, you started creating your on-line magazine in our collaborative wiki here in in wikispaces. Go to your page, and then look for your teacher’s comments in the “discussion” tab to start correcting, editing and adding to your work.


 * Finish the description of your profile as a graduated architect or urban planner in wikispaces, and continue adding to the description of your on-line magazine. Remember to upload some images to make your wiki page more attractive to your audience. Start thinking about the content you would like your on-line magazine to have.


 * If you haven’t recorded the description of your magazine in [|My Chingo], please do so.




 * Go to [|www.google.com], and do some search for “on-line magazines” or “e-zines”


 * Notice that these types of magazines, just like printed magazines need to have advertisement. Why is it important for a magazine to have ads?


 * What is a “displayed ad”, do you know? What are its characteristics?


 * Go to [|www.onelook.com], and search for the meanings of these words:

a) Advertisement b) Display


 * Discuss the meaning of those two words as a class discussion****, and add them to our Glossary in Moodle!!!**
 * Let´s see who will be the first to enter these two words to our Glossary. Remember that "First comes, first serves"....**
 * Navigate some of these online journals:
 * 1) **[|Metropolis Magazine]**
 * 2) **[|Architectural Record]**
 * 3) **[|Planetizen]**


 * Look at the display ads they have, and try to see **what they have in common**, regarding images and text.


 * Go to Moodle and answer the four questions in the Forum named "Display Ads". If you want more information on the characteristics of display ads, [|check this site] . For previewing some examples of Displayed ads, click [|here].


 * Start thinking about a name, and the kind of content you would like to include in the on-line magazine you are going to create as your Final Project for this English course...


 * Click on the section of Glossary in Moodle, read the instructions and start adding new entry words to it. Add at least one of the words you have learned in this class. The more entries you have, the better grade you’ll get in the glossary!
 * Review vocabulary and grammar points we have discussed as preparation for your first Vocabulary and Grammar Quiz 1 (Monday, Week 5)
