Takeaway Teacher - Writing - flair

Essay feedback

Hi all,
Here's your essay feedback, to go with the sheets I gave you in class. Please watch and take notes.
When you've done that, in Friday's lesson you need to use the website www.wix.com/teacherinmypocket/english to revise - I would suggest that you start with one of the Other Cult poems, but then move on to the Writing Skills or Lit Poetry.
For each video, you should aim to get at least 5 key points down - don't try to make notes on everything, but pick out the points that you hadn't previously considered or found particularly interesting / useful.

Homework this weekend

Hello all,

In a change to the homework advertised on the sheet I gave you (and linked in a previous post) this weekend you need to write the Writing to Argue / Media coursework replacement piece about reality TV. The planning frame is here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1dQNkPA6X06oRp2F1gXxHx6by2cYwTFIkXfV7cXQ2PAY/edit?hl=en#

Remember: if you are intending to resubmit this to replace your MEdia piece, make sure you spend longer on it and make it a polished piece of writing. If you are keeping your current Media piece, you need to spend only 45 minutes and do it as an exam practice.

Here's the link to the specification, towards the end of which you'll find the marking criteria for this piece - it's the EN3 Media assignment. http://store.aqa.org.uk/qual/pdf/AQA-3702-W-SP-11.PDF

Have a great weekend,
Mr Boulter
