Hi Nat 5 people,

Here are a couple of Prezi’s we have gone over to help with the new Section 2 of the exam paper.

Remember, the key part of the answer is linking your analysis of the content of the poster to the key aspects in the question (in our practice this has been Audience and Purpose).

Enjoy revising!

Hi folks,

Final furlong. Finishing post just up ahead. Here is an exemplar for you to look at for your assignment and I have reattached to planning page. Because it is called section 1 plan that has caused some confusion. I will re-name the document.

Now that you have submitted your planning section and created your product, the second section of the assignment requires you to evaluate both the process and the product.

Look at the attached document for a plan for laying out the points you want to make.

For section a on Institutional Contexts, you should make at least 4 points on different institutional opportunities or constraints.

For section b on your Content, you should make at least 5 points on different codes or conventions or key aspects you have used to create meaning. The codes you use will be specific to the form of text you made.

I will go over some exemplars in class.

Hello!

Here are some notes on some of the language codes used in The Ring. I hope to add to these with some more key aspects.
