This blog is now inactive until September due to external moderation.

Thank you.

Friday Deadline

You've (nearly) all been feverishly editing/screenshotting/voice-overing these past couple of weeks - I just keep seeing you going in/coming out of the media room - like little bumble bees... so can't fault your efforts, that's for sure!



Just to let you know, your blogs need to be 'closed' by the end of day tomorrow (3:20pm).  I will, of course, be seeing you in the lesson tomorrow, but I didn't want ANYBODY to be unclear about how it all ends.

A final post is needed, but remember, it's probably going to be the first post the moderator will read, so don't be mawkish.  Stay professional.

To ensure the deadline happens for everybody, it's necessary for us to change your password to your blog - this ensures no one becomes tempted to add/edit after Friday.



I then have until Wednesday to scour your blogs and evaluations and then arrive at your final marks for all of your coursework products.

You can imagine how difficult this is even without the idea that someone might be sneakily trying to 'alter' posts here and there at the same as me trying to mark them over the 5 day period.

Then, once the exams are over, and we're back starting the A2 on Mon 16th June, I'll give you your new passwords so that you can start on your A2 blog!

So, adieu until tomorrow.

Essays for over Easter:

Have a go at these essays please.  I'm going to try and get to you all today to give you a hard copy of them - please use them as the front cover sheet of your essay.

Take no longer than about 45mins.

Prep for it beforehand, revise terms etc - but then you MUST do it in one go - do not stop half way through to research a point.. EXAM PRACTICE IS JUST THAT OTHERWISE YOU ARE ONLY DELUDING YOURSELF AND WHAT'S THE POINT OF THAT??
