Morning everyone!
After our day off on Monday normal service resumes today. As we are working our way towards writing a full essay for the language and technology topic (I'll set this after we come back from half term), you can use today as a catch up session to fill in any gaps in knowledge that you may have. Work your way through the tasks below:
1. Spend around 10 minutes playing some grammar games as you did last week. Click the link to access them.
2. There are a few of you who have as of yet not handed me in any written work. This is very detrimental to your progress and needs to be rectified. If this is you, complete task 3 and hand me in some PEE analytical paragraphs by the end of the lesson.
3. Wider reading is very important to your study of language. With this in mind, I'd like you to find 3 articles relating to technology's impact on language, all from different news sources (The Guardian, The Daily Mail, The Independent, The Telegraph etc., just google 'language and technology the guardian'). You can start with this one from the Daily Mail.
Decide whether or not the article demonstrates a prescriptivist or descriptivist attitude, and how you know this. Then write a few paragraphs of analysis in response to the article with some focus on the way it uses linguistic techniques, similar to the work you did on the A Level article.
4. Finally, if you finish all of these tasks, start trying to learn and revise your terminology. I have card here for you to make some flashcards, so come see me if you want some.
Plenty to be getting on with! Remember tomorrow we will be finishing off your technology posters and you will be presenting them to the class in your groups.
