Written Production

Think about the work you did in groups (space travel and reading comprehension of texts about the media) and write
about it. ( Minimum: 100 words)

You should have a well-organized text with:

- an introduction – introduce the topic you are writing about;
- a development (2 or 3 paragraphs) to refer to the prompts given by the teacher
- a conclusion in which you present your overall opinion.

Prompts
 Who was in both groups? How did you choose your group members? (in both cases).
 What difficulties did you face?
 How did you manage the tasks: meetings; time; work distribution; app used?
 Was there collaboration / cooperation amongst all group members? Did everyone work equally?
 Is it easy to work in groups at a distance? Why? Why not? Is it important to work in groups in distant learning?
 Add anything else that you think is important to mention.

FÁTIMA VANESSA GONÇALVES ALVES

For the English’s subject we had to do two group works about space travel and reading comprehension of texts about
the media. And that's what I'm going to talk about.
In the first group work about the space travel, my group was Diana, Daniela and F.Sofia, we decided to make this
group, because we like to do things together, and it’s funny when we talk to each other. We made the brochure with
the Microsoft word. The list was one of my favourite things in the work, because we had to pull the imagination.
Furthermore, we use the zoom to the meetings, and we spent a lot of time doing type of work, I think it was five days (in
the afternoon), more than 5 hours of work. We made things together, that is we work equally. I think everyone
collaborate in this group, of course one did more than the other, but that's how it works.
In the second group about the reading comprehension of the texts about the media, was easier than the other,
because had less things to do. My group was Eva and Mafalda. Mafalda and Eva were already in the group, and I asked
Mafalda if I could do it with her and she said yes. In this work we use the skype to the meetings. The call was very
different than the other. Furthermore, in this work we spent about two afternoons. Basically, we distribute work,
Mafalda made the power point, with the help of Eva and me. And in the speeches, it was me, Eva and Mafalda. So, I
think everyone work equally. I didn´t find any difficulties in this work.
For the conclusion, I think group work is a good way to the students communicate with each other without leaving
home. For my experience, I think it’s easier to work in groups, but sometimes it’s difficult because we don’t have an
hour to do the work, that is, one person cannot do that hour, and then another person cannot do the other hour. But
besides that, I like to do group works.
