Activity 12th March

Here are some pictures that I took of today's progress in class, yet again gathering some feasible evidence.

For our first lesson, we mainly learnt about all of our articles and how to specifically link to the exam for help for the students and ourselves simultaneously. With Barney's help, we was able to relate all of our articles to atleast one topic of the exam question 2 - which was really helpful and made sure we understood where we were going with all of our articles.

Here is Barney, helping us make connections between our articles and the 6 points to consider in question 2 of the exam.

Here is some of the progress we made after talking about each one.

Here are some close up shots I took from my camera to help see the notes we made together as a class.

In the next lesson, we worked on Mine and Kirk's activity which we discussed on Wednesday. Kirk then wrote an activity letter (below) and we simply wanted each group to brainstorm ideas for the flyer Alex (the liason officer) needs to hand out next Friday at the event in London with our client Jenny Grahame. This will hopefully help advertise our newspaper and we could get some potential advertisers or buyers, which would be great at this stage.

Here are some of the brainstormed ideas that the groups thought of.

Here is Philippas group's (the blue team) brainstorm. There ideas were good but were a bit vague I thought, so we asked them to expand it, which they did, their finished ideas seemed a lot better and hopefully we can collate these ideas on Monday.

Here is Loz's team's (Red team) brainstorm. This one was a lot more focused first time round, and actually answered each question on the sheet which was what we were looking for. Yet again collating these ideas on Monday should give us a good idea of what needs to be on the Flyer.

Here is a picture I took of the class working on the brainstorming.

Me and Kirk also agreed to set a homework for each person to personally come up with a draft flyer for Monday. This we thought was feasible and therefore should be easy to complete, it will also not take long either but will give us a good idea of what the flyer needs on it to advertise and promote the newspaper as effectively as possible.

Work at home

I also did some work at home, uploading the photos I took in lesson to our Flickr account so the whole class can access them and add them to their blogs to give them evidence of the lessons and work completed. I will continue to upload photos like this and have been since the day we started the project, I think this way we can all keep a substantial amount of evidence for our activity log blogs.
