Seminar - Monday 1st Dec
Hi Everyone,
Hope you are all having a good Saturday. Don't forget that you need to do some research for the seminar on Monday.
Jim has posted some links on his blog which you might like to look at.

Think about your performance in the last seminar and the areas that you feel you need to improve. One suggestion is that you try and use some of the more functional language for agreeing, disagreeing etc.
See you all on Monday!

Media seminar and writing task
Hi,
Don't forget that you should have started your research by now for the seminar on Monday. Have a look at Jim's blog for some links to some more articles.
Tomorrow you should let me know which of the essay titles you have chosen.
Starting tomorrow and continuing next week we will look at writing discursive essays, essay outlines and writing introductions in more detail.
For the moment concentrate on collecting some information in order to have something to put in your essays.

Please have a look at some of the older postings on my blog as I have put in some links to useful websites.
Self study
Hi,
Hopefully everyone has now either set up a blog or has started recording their self-study on paper. Remember that at the end of the month I can only give you a mark if you PRODUCE something for me to look at. You will be given a mark for the amount of self study that you have done and also for the effort that you have put in. Try and include some variety in your self study and remember that anything and everything you do in English outside the classroom can be recorded as self study. So, if you work, record that on your blog/on paper, if you go to conversation club, add that etc
You also have to complete at least 7 of the self-study tasks listed in the front of your red books.
Have a good evening and see you all tomorrow.

Media Seminar
Dear Amber,
Monday is the first of your assessed seminars. The topic is the media and your homework today was to look at the areas of the media to be covered in the seminar.
You need to start doing your preparation NOW. Please don't leave it until Sunday night and then expect to do well in the seminar. One of the areas you are given a mark for is your preparation. You can bring your notes with you to the seminar - you don't have to memorise everything you read.
