Life sometimes becomes a monotonous way of performing established actions: home, street, school…
but, have you ever thought about those actions that deserve to be recognized, or on the contrary, those
activities that deserve to be rejected?
The following activity will help us realize the impact of common actions in terms of respect for rights and
duties.

Activity 1. Write a short paragraph in which you detail daily or common actions related to ethical
behaviors regarding citizenship and living together, such as avoiding plagiarism,
respecting the lines, valuing differences…

Be sure you detail as much as possible

In a virtual academic environment misunderstanding can lead to problems, which need to be

solved in order to avoid the academic performance and process be affected. Have you noticed
where some problems come from? Do you know how to solve them? Have you lived one of
these issues?

Activity 2. Design a survey (10 questions) to teachers and students about common school conflicts,
and how they’re solved. Then paraphrase the answers and state your agreements or
disagreements based on solid arguments.

• Include the questions (written)

• Add your voice asking these questions
• Paraphrase the information and express your points of view (pros and against) in
written or oral ways.

Example:

Always Often Sometimes Rarely Never

1 I respect the academic timeline and
follow the established process.
2 I am responsible for my learning
process and I can socialize my
activities content.
3 Do you attend meetings previously
scheduled?

Paraphrasing:
1. (first answer) In a general way, students do not respect academic timeline; consequently, they fall
behind at the end of the school year; for this reason, they ask the teachers for help some days

before the academic process is over, but they find no positive answers since most of the students
are trying to finish their process.

Point of view:

I disagree with students who do not respect the rules and try to justify their delays in terms of
sending activities. I consider this is not fair, since a well-planned process result in high scores in each
subject.

Activity 3. Access https://colombiareports.com/ or any other resource in which you find a news
about a problem happening in Colombia, then paste the text or the link and use your
own words (paraphrase) to tell what is described there and where that problem comes
from. Be sure you critically analyze this situation, for then to interpret the issue.

• This activity is aimed at assuming a critical stance about social issues happening in our
contexts.
• Include some expressions to summarize ideas, such as:

On the whole…
Basically he/she is saying that….
In this text, the author argues that….
To support the main claim, the author provides evidence that suggests …

Time to regret and reflect!

Colombia could be a paradise, but violence, social injustice, corruption, and the like have increased
social gaps, leading to a non-just society hoping things to change.

What would Colombia be like if society were not that indifferent?

Activity 4. Based on your analysis of the current Colombian society and the country through the
last decades, share some (at least 10) critical opinions about what has happened and
what could have happened/or could have been avoided.

Example:

1. If people understood the power of democracy, this country would be more just and equitable.
2. If Jaime Garzón hadn’t been passed away, he would have led this country toward a better peace
process.
3. If . . .

Activity 5. Based on one of the previous conditions, design an image or comic representing your
opinion, and explain it.
