For those of you who had to duck out early today, or simply weren’t in, here’s a copy of the hand-outs given to everyone at the end of the lesson. These include:
- Revision guides for ‘To Kill a Mockingbird’ and ‘Saving Private Ryan’
- A copy of the Edwin Morgan themes table, with room for adding quotes – very handy for revision
- MOST IMPORTANTLY a sheet on how to transform your talk into a persuasive essay, which will be part of your folio, be used as evidence that you have passed the writing element of the course, AND (as long as you evaluate TWO sources) can be used as your Added Value Unit.
Your Persuasive Essay is due in NO LATER THAN MONDAY 27th JANUARY, so I can see it before you go on exam leave. If you speak to someone who wasn’t in today, spread the word.
At this stage, you should also be revising the texts we have completed at home, as well as looking over feedback I have given you. We have time to do some in class, but the responsiblity lies with you. Don’t do yourself a disservice – dig the notes out and actually read them.
