Final Seminar

Hi,

Don't forget that tomorrow in your seminar Jim and I will also be listening for your ability to present a logical and clear argument.

THINK before you SPEAK. Don't just say a random collection of sentences and expect the people in your group to make sense of them. Prepare beforehand and have some good arguments to put forward.

Happy seminar planning!!

Answering the question

Thinking about what we talked about in the lesson today, remember that it is very important to keep looking back at the question when you are writing an essay. Every sentence you write must have some relevance to the essay question.

Remember - it doesn't matter if you write a perfectly structured essay with no grammar mistakes and the most amazing vocabulary ever......... if you don't answer the question, you haven't done the task properly.

See you tomorrow

Self Study

Hi,

Just to remind you that your self-study must be handed in on Friday. Make sure that you have been updating your blogs or putting things in your paper portfolio. Remember that I have to have evidence of work to be able to give you a mark - you can't just tell me what you have been doing.

See you tomorrow
