OK, so we still have quite a few assessments to do, but here is a rough plan of how we might roll out the Comm 4 and Oral Presentation Skills Units. Remember, I am planning for 5 months or so here, so will do my best to keep to it, no mean feat with two Units to work to.
As a reminder there are 13 assessments you do for me. For Comm 4 (2x reading, 2x listening, 2x talking and 2x writing) and for Oral Presentation Skills (2x presentation analysis, 1x presentation plan, 2x presentations to deliver).
Some of you have already completed 4 assessments - Comm 4 reading (digital books), OPS speaking (how to do), OPS plan (how to do) and OPS analysis 1 (Jamie Oliver). In the next couple of weeks you will also have completed (for Comm 4) 1 writing outcome (an essay you did for Evan) and 1 listening outcome (a Radio 4 Word of Mouth transmission). Phew...so, lets see if we can follow the plan below!
23rd Jan - listen to and discuss Word of Mouth radio transmission on "language borrowing" (unassessed).
25th Jan - work in groups, discuss the programme, answer some questions. I will give sample answers at the end of this class.
30th Jan - listen to Word of Mouth radio transmission on "presentations, PowerPoint use etc" (assessed).
1st, 6th and 8th Feb - work on listening assessment for Comm 4 and hand in any history essay of your choosing that has passed for Evan - this will be credited as a pass for one of the writing outcomes for Comm 4.
13th Feb - no class.
20th Feb - remediation session (if necessary).
22nd Feb - watching film one (of two).
27th Feb - discuss film that was watched on the 22nd and look at how to write a film review.
29th Feb - watch film two (of two).
5th and 7th March - write up review for one of the films we watched in class.
12th and 14th March - assemble into groups for group discussions. Research on topics.
19th and 21st March - discussion assessment.
26th March - give out brief for oral presentation (this will double up for Comm 4 and OPS outcomes - one presentation, two passes!)
28th March - prep for presentation.
2nd - 13th April - EASTER VACATION
16th April - final touches to assessed presentation.
18th, 23rd, 25th and 30th April - assessed presentation delivery.
2nd May - remediation as necessary.
7th May - HOLIDAY!
9th May - at this stage we will have three assessments to complete - one listening, one reading and one analysis of an oral presentation. I suggest that we negotiate what is best re assessments at this stage. The last day of classes will be WEDNESDAY 13TH JUNE 2012.
I hope this will work out well for us. I am satisfied that it will be.
We can move things around if we feel we need to, but this is the proposal anyway!
Cheers, Mark
