MESSAGE TO YEAR 11 2012 FROM MRS MILLER

HELLO YEAR 11!!!

I know I don't say it very often, but I am really proud of the effort you have been putting since I came back. I know it has taken some longer than others to get going but I think you are all finally getting there and we should see some fantastic folders at the end of it. I would ideally like to have a party for our class in the last week, so we can finally chill out and enjoy one another's company before your imminent exams. However I can't really do this if everyone still has to catch up! So please, please, please for your own sake get everything completed over Easter. If you don't then we have problems. You should be spending the last 3 weeks improving our work to ensure you get a pass, merit or distinction.

The first thing you need to do, before you start any work is the following:

1. Every time you finish a piece of work you MUST print it off!
2. Go through each assignment brief and tick off what you have done.
3. Begin completing your tasks. Do one at a time until it has been completed.
4. Once completed print if off and put in folder.
5. Now cross it off the list on the assignment brief.

Once all tasks have been completed go through every booklet and make sure everything has been filled in correctly. Because there are lots of gaps in the booklets!

You have exactly 9 hours left with me, you'll be pleased to hear.

I am sorry if at times I appear to be harsh, but please remember all I want for you is the very best and for you to leave college with some fantastic qualifications behind you. Although most of you are ready to leave now, try and enjoy your last few weeks.

You are old enough now to know you need to work until the coursework is done, as hard as it may be for some of you, you are all very capable to do this and do it well!

If you need to contact me....then you can email me!

Remember you can do it!

Thursday 26th November 09 - Yr 10 BTEC - Conventions of an advert

Hi Guys!

Today you will learn to be

LO1 - Independent enquirers by applying more conventions of an advert to your second and draft in order to achieve a higher grade for your practical coursework.

So I expect you by the end of the lesson to have produced an image which has some/most/all of the conventions on them.

Starter: Quick re-cap / What do I mean by a convention of an advert?

Development : Create your second draft of your advert.

NB: remember you may be recreating this for your final piece so make sure you can! Draw the outline and include the conventions, before you begin colouring in!

Plenary
At the end of the lesson you will be expected to explain your advert to the rest of the class and show identify the conventions. The group will tell you what they like about your product and what you could do to make it even better!!!
