Film Study, Creative Writing, Speech and Exam Prep

Hi Ella,

I think you’re going to be away for Tournament Week.

The following two links are to the structure we’ll be following for the Film Study while you’re away and to the practise paper (and exemplar) that you can use as a preparation exercise.

Also, can I ask you to put the  script of your speech and your dystopian creative piece onto your blog and work on it from there? This will allow me to ensure its authenticity in case you wish to use it as a portfolio piece.

Righto!

Practise Paper: 2.2 Film Study – Minority Report

Chapter One

Hi Ella,

Can I ask you to upload your draft Chapter One work to your blog. This will allow me the opportunity to have a look at it and also gives me the security of knowing I can vouch for its authenticity even if you work on it outside of class time.

Thanks kindly!

This is your online portfolio

Hello and welcome to your personal online journal.

This platform has been created to enhance and enrich your learning at Mount Aspiring College. Its purpose is to provide you with an audience for your work (or work-in-progress) and you have the choice (by altering the ‘visibility’ of your posts) of whether your work on here is visible to the world, or only to your teacher.

Anything you post here in the public domain represents you and thus it’s important that you take care with that decision, but don’t be afraid to publish your work – as the feedback you may get from people at home, your peers and people from around the internet is only likely to enhance it.

Remember you can always access your class blog and all manner of resources through the Department of English main website – and by all means check out the sites of your peers to see what they’re getting up to as well.

If you have any questions for me, an excellent way to get an answer is to create a new private post on this journal. I am notified of any new posts and will reply swiftly to any queries.

Make the most of, and enjoy this new freedom in your English learning.

Righto!
