Directed Writing - Language & Occupation

Morning everyone,

We're still ploughing on with our work on directed writing (arguably the hardest task you'll have to do across the two papers) and today I'd like you to focus on the theme of language & occupation.

You have all been given a sheet with 9 relevant theories for language and occupation. You absolutely do not have to know or include all of these theories, but have 2 or 3 ready to go. Today do a bit of research on these theories and make some notes on your blog.

Then for your directed writing task, read this article up to the line 'does she live where people work?'. Write an opinionated article about the use of work language in other contexts (for example, how do you think people should talk to their bosses/vice versa? Or should their be different conversational rules at work than at home etc.)

We will carry on with this tomorrow if we don't finish, but make sure you've at least done the research on the theories today.
