Hi Y10
I hope the Physics exam went well.

Excellent work this week. Some of you still have work to do so ensure that you get everything you need over the weekend. This is your homework; if you've already done a lot of preparation for this, then you don't have much homework. If you haven't, then you've got much to do over the weekend!

Remember, it's only 1000 words. You just need a few things in order to talk about them at length, but they need to be of high-quality so you can talk about them in detail. It is a bit like the layers of meaning that we focussed on so much in the previous Controlled Assessment.. You MUST give a detailed comment on issues surrounding spoken language.

Here is the PowerPoint from the lesson (it includes a paragraph on Sports Commentary).

Look below for details of the Assessment.

There is also the video from Wednesday's cover lesson below.

Any worries? Leave a comment.
