Alternative Beliefs


Hi people. This is your 1st assigment for next Saturday. Please, read and follow instructions!

Always:
1. Explain your reasoning.
2. Avoid "Yes/No" type answers.
3. Handwritten

1) Alternative Beliefs

1. Do you think there is intelligent life in other planets?
2. Some people claim to have seen UFOs such as flying saucers. Do you believe in them? Why or why not?
3. What is your opinion of people who say that they can communicate with spirits? Would you like to take part of a session?
4. Would you ever visit an astrologer for a forecast of how your life will run for the future?
5. What does your star sign tells you about your personality and compatibility with other people?
6. Do you believe in other forms of fortune telling, such as palmistry, tarot cards, reading tea cups, etc?

2) Shipwreck!

These are only to be answered by those students that were stranded (left) by their team in the Shipwreck game. In your case, I expect both homeworks. Missing any of these tasks will be considered as an incomplete homework.

1. How were the decisions made in my group?
2. How did I feel about the decisions? Do I think it were fair?
3. Were the people in my team (including me) straight and honest? Have all of them exposed true reasons to survive.
4. How is this exercise like our English Course? In other words, what relationship has with our class?

3) Slide presentations

I will let you know soon or later when is your 1st Quiz and what to study from these materials:

I couldn't upload the video due its length, but I'm sharing the link with you. It's a nice overview about Indian religions: Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, etc.

Quesions? Post them in here.

Have a nice week!
