Discussion assessment, session two
Another successful couple of discussions this morning. The topics were assisted suicide and abortion and raised some very interesting points of view.
Again, the information was well researched, backed up with some strong personal comment which helped to make both sessions really interesting and informative for assessor and learners alike.
All four discussions have been great, so well done to everybody involved and I will see you all on Monday to go over the next assessment, which is the final assessed presentation you will deliver for the unit.
Until then, have a lovely weekend.
All the best,
Mark

Discussion assessment, session one
I really enjoyed the two discussion groups on Monday.
The 9am group detailed information about 'Burke and Hare' which included information about the film and many ineresting facts concerning the deadly duo. It also provided an agenda for some further research on the topic so well done group one.
At 9.30 the next group looked at the contentious subject of 'benefits' and many areas were covered, from personal stories to information current in today's news. The group analysed, debated and outlined a surfeit of different areas surrounding the subject of benefits and also did a great job.
As I thought, the discussions could have gone on a little longer, so in a way I am sorry that I didn't allow more time. That said, they may well have continued into the refectory afterwwards! All speakers were upbeat, well prepared and up for a natter. Can't ask for any more than that!
I am looking forward to hearing the final two group discussions on Wed at 12 noon and 12.30 respectively.
Well done,
Mark

Will you tell Starbucks your name?

Have a look at the link above. I was having a chat with Paige about this matter this morning in class. It does strike me, where is the line between being friendly and imposing?
Any thoughts welcomed!

Film review - submission date Wed 14th March 2012
Dear all,
The second writing assessment is due on Wednesday 14th March 2012 and will be a film review of one of the films we have watched recently, Man On Wire or Elegy.
It should be a minimum of 700 words and you are encouraged to look at other film reviews (using the websites I recommended a week or two ago on this blog) to get a feel for how you might write your piece.
Don't be afraid to be really positive and equally, don't be afraid to write a negative review if you feel inclined!
I look forward to your reviews and if possible, please e mail me your work. I am aware that some of you are unable to attend my Wednesday class as you are at the University Open Day, so I hope you enjoy that. For those not going, please come to 110 at the usual time where I will have access to the laptops for you to write up your review.
Next Monday (12th March) we will look at the next assessment which is a discussion, but more about that next week!
All the best,
Mark
