Hi Y10

I hope the Physics exam went well.

Excellent work this week. Some of you still have work to do so ensure that you get everything you need over the weekend. This is your homework; if you've already done a lot of preparation for this, then you don't have much homework. If you haven't, then you've got much to do over the weekend!

Remember, it's only 1000 words. You just need a few things in order to talk about them at length, but they need to be of high-quality so you can talk about them in detail. It is a bit like the layers of meaning that we focussed on so much in the previous Controlled Assessment.. You MUST give a detailed comment on issues surrounding spoken language.

Here is the PowerPoint from the lesson (it includes a paragraph on Sports Commentary).

Look below for details of the Assessment.

There is also the video from Wednesday's cover (for RM) lesson below.

Any worries? Leave a comment.

Wednesday's Cover lesson

Some articles...

Hello Y10

Lots of you are working really well. This is an independent study focus so you really are showing your skills/ competencies that will serve you well in future study and beyond. 

If you have not got a range of documents, you need to address this urgently. We are going to begin writing our arguments later this week and next ready to write this up formally the week after.

A reminder that you must have transcripts that you have listened to, ergo, have transcribed yourself. You cannot just have transcripts that you have downloaded. These are not transcripts, but scripts.

Here are a few things to help you along:

• the powerpoint from last lesson
• an article on Texting reducing attention spans
• an article on Mutli-modal speech destroying the written words
• a transcript of 1930s children being taught how to speak on the telephone

If you find any articles that are useful, use the comments to share this information. For example, NZ was looking at an article on Hip Hop and changes to language that I would like to read...

LOOK AT THESE FILMS: This is a useful short film about accents, accents and dialect, texting is good for language (this is actually excellent), how the internet changes langauge. If you search Davis Crystal in YouTube it bring up lots of wonderful little films for you. Mkae sur eyou reference these though so save them to your favourites and write down the address.

Here is the teacher in my pocket who gives some guidance on spoken language study; although this is for a different specification, it is really useful for those of you doing political speeches.

If you are stuck in any way, leave a comment.
