Post-2:Your introductions

Dear All,

I'd like to ask you to do smth. creative to help me remember you quicker and better and also practise using this blog.

I have a couple of suggestions about what you can do but in the end, you are more than welcome to do smth different. Just remember that the main purpose of this task is to help me to get acquainted with you better and remember your names and surnames.

So, what can you do to help me?

a) publish a picture of you or a picture that is associated with you and tells a small story; explain it
                                                        
                                                    OR

b) publish your favourite YouTube clip:



it can be a clip of your favourite singer/with your favourite actress or acror/smth or smb else you consider your favourite such as one of the following


 a) a cartoon

 b)  an animal  

 c)  a book  

d) smth else: USE YOUR CREATIVE SKILLS and IMAGINATION:)

e) A note on the technical side: 

you'll have some practice today in publishing your posts and learn how to add images to them
also, I'll explain a number of rules and the conventions you should use when writing your works, including the following:

a) learning about reference styles: MLA, APA, Russian academic publications
b) providing reference details: the author's name, the title of the article, the link to the resource, the date of publication, access date, the page numbers

I'll introduce you to the tool Citation Machine to do it 
c) adding them to your post in-text and in the end of it

Hope you will find this useful and will learn to do it in no time.

Good luck!

See you in class shortly:)
