I’ve decided to open the Literary Terms Revision Test early… as I’ve got it done quicker than I thought I would… You can head over there to sign up and try your luck anytime between now and next Friday… CLICK HERE to be whisked into revision heaven… and if you can’t remember the enrollment key… email me!

I’ve added a page to the WIki to allow you to ask any questions you may have about the prelim. You can find it HERE!

I’ll be checking it regularly over the weekend…

Testing…

Your homework for the long weekend is to do the following:

• Select a suitable passage from one of the ‘respectable’ papers (Either print or online version)
• Read the passage very carefully and make notes on it as necessary.
• Devise 25 marks worth of questions (NB: Maximum of 3 marks per question!).
• Prepare a suitable mark scheme.

When you hand it in next Monday, can you remember to include a copy of the passage!

I’ve posted the appointments that have been made so far on the wiki. If your parent/guardian is unable to attend could you let me know as soon as possible. That way I’m not left waiting for someone who isn’t going to arrive.

This is pretty cool… anybody agree/disagree?

Hit the comment button and go for it!

Just finished reading this really interesting article in the Guardian. I recommend you read it, especially as I intend using it as the basis for some work when we are working on creative writing.

Enjoy!

This is a test post to see if I can embed YouTube videos…

If it works, watch the video and let me know what you think.

Anyone feeling arty? I’d like some eyecandy for the wiki (and this blog) and in order to encourage you best artistic endevours, I’m offering an iTunes gift voucher (or HWV or Virgin voucher if you prefer) for the design I adopt…

The closing date is the end of term (just before the Xmas holiday) and I’ll take submissions electronically, and would prefer TIFF or PNG format… but will accept anything except BMP files (even I have some standards)!

The ideal size is 800 x 200 pixels @ 72dpi, and you can go here for some ideas of what is possible.
Don’t feel constrained by the size… feel free to come up with a big bit of eyecandy… I’ll select strips from it as necessary… and please ensure that it is your own work! I’ll be really annoyed if you steal someone elses artwork and I end up being done by the copyright people!

Any questions, get in touch…

Cheers,

Leonardo da Winton!

I’ve now posted the close reading stuff we talked about in class on the wiki. I’ve not put the passage/questions up because of copyright issues. If this is a problem, post a comment here and I’ll see what I can do.
