presentación oral a través de un video. En ese video usted presentará

Dado que este es un curso intersemestral, todas las tareas se
encuentran abiertas. Se recomienda que antes de empezar

Esta tarea tendrá tres fases: sensibilización, práctica y ejecución del

video.
Usted debe dar cuenta de tres aspectos:
a) Hablar de sí mismo. b) Contar una experiencia de un viaje. c) Hablar
del clima del lugar que describe en su experiencia de viaje y dar algunas
recomendaciones sobre qué se debe tener en cuenta, de acuerdo con el
clima. d) Dar recomendaciones para planear un viaje al lugar que usted
describió.
Es necesario que usted haga los ejercicios de los contenidos en línea
que se relacionan al inicio de cada paso; de esta manera, podrá dar
cuenta de lo aprendido en los ejercicios de escritura que se proponen
en el proceso y así mismo en el producto final.

En cada etapa se señalan las partes de la unidad de los contenidos en

línea que usted debe trabajar, y se hace específico qué actividades debe
subir al foro. Es decir, no todas las actividades que se trabajan en los
contenidos en línea deben ser publicadas en el foro. Revise cuáles debe
publicar.
