Travel Writing and this week's homework

Hi everyone,

A quick reminder that your travel writing pieces are due to be posted on your blog by Monday. This gives you all weekend to carry on with the work we have been doing in class, develop your writing and type it up. Use the work we have done in class as a guide, use the Guardian travel tips and remember all the stylistic techniques we have been looking at. I'm not expecting perfection, but I would like to see all of you giving it a good go and trying your hardest to produce a well-planned and refined piece of writing - the more practice for your coursework, the better!

Another reminder that the deadline has now passed for you to post your analysis of the Armstrong and Miller sketch on your blog, and for you to hand in your commentary and critique of your Introduction to Me piece has now passed. I have spoken to a small number of you who have posted this on their blogs, or are intending to post onto their blogs, and a reminder of what I said in class that this is due today.

There are still some pieces I haven't received hand-written, and there are no sign of on your blog. I need to stress the importance of homework pieces such as this. Whilst they are not formally marked pieces, it is still vital for you to receive feedback on your writing as you progress, and if I don't see your writing, I am unable to guide you effectively and offer you advice on how to improve. With your coursework approaching fast, this is essential!

Please remember to manage your time efficiently, and keep up to date with homework deadlines - the homework set is always designed so you can progress and improve!

On a lighter note, I hope everyone has a nice weekend. Have a break from your work, but do remember to post your pieces before Monday. Have fun with it and get creative!
