 ENGLISH and SOCIAL STUDIES ** My practical work experience ** ** – a blog and a conversation ** **__ Instructions: __** ** During your practical work experience (PRAO) you will write a blog **. **When you come back to school you will have a small talk about your practical work experience with Louise**. This means that the more you write in your blog, look up words that can come in handy and prepare yourself, the better fluency your conversation with Louise will have. Since this blog is **a cooperation between the subjects English and Social Studies**, this assignment will be the only one that you will have to do during your practical work experience. The subjects will expect different things of you, though. In English, this task is an oral assignment where you will practice and develop your ability to speak English. During one or two lessons in Social Studies, you will discuss how the working place deal with questions that have to do with organization, sustainable development and internationalization. ** You can choose whether you would like to write your blog in English or in Swedish **. That is totally up to you. What you have to do, though, is to prepare yourself so that you can hold a conversation about your practical work experience in English. You will have different questions to answer every day. **In addition to this, you will also comment on two of your friends blogs**. You cannot comment a blog more than once. The comments can be in either Swedish or English.  -  ** Monday: ** Where are you doing your practical work experience? Describe the working place and the company. (For example: How is the company/working place organized? How many employees are there? How many of them are working full time and how many are working part time? How many are women and how many are men? etc.)  -  ** Tuesday: ** Which people have you met? What are their responsibilities at the company/working place? How were you received/welcomed?  -  ** Wednesday: ** What did you like doing/didn´t you like doing? What are the positive and negative sides to the job? Give examples.  -  **  Thursday:  ** How does the company work on an international level? Are they only focusing on the Swedish market or do they have parts of the company situated abroad as well? Which parts of the company are situated in other countries? Why? How does the company/working place work with questions that concern the environment? Give examples.  -  ** Friday: ** Describe a typical day at your practical work experience place. At what time do you start your day and what happens during the day? Could you see yourself working with this job in the future? Why/Why not? **__ How? __**** Louise will talk to you in pairs. ** As in any conversation it is important that you listen to your conversation partners and that you show an interest in what they are saying. Don´t hesitate to ask each other questions if there is something you find interesting or if there is anything you don´t understand. However, it is important that you let everyone in the conversation make their voice heard. **The conversation will take about 10 minutes.** **__ When? __** On English lessons on Tuesday 15/12 and Thursday 17/12. **__ Aids: __** Dictionaries.
