Assignment 5

Your local branch of Amnesty International has asked you to write a report on the violation of human rights in The Netherlands and to give them suggestions about how to inform the general public about these violations. 

Write your report ( 300-400 words) using information about Human Rights violations from the Internet.

Revise

• Have a look at the teacher version of Report 5. Compare it to your own and note down those words and phrases you think are handy to know.
• Now, pass your report to your classmate and use the rubric to check each other's work. Make sure you explain why you give this feedback and that you check all parts: Form, Content, Vocabulary & Grammar. 
• Then, before moving onto report 6, revise the grammar on the Passive by working through the Powerpoint shared in the Studiewijzer - Writing and by doing some practice online:
