VS 2A 2009 English Language Blog

hi all,

Our unit on narratives will continue to run for the next 3 weeks, so this is what you can expect:

Wed, 26 Mar 2008:

• Plot Summary Exercise - You will need to come up with an original narrative plot in class. Thereafter, we will do some peer marking and comments to see how you can further improve your narratives.
• Introductions and Dialogue - We will also continue our study of what goes into a good introduction and how to infuse good dialogue into your narratives.
  
• Homework - You will need to individually work on the introduction for your plot summary and submit it to me by Wed, 2 Apr 2008.
  

• Plot Summary Test - Utilising what you have prepared previously (or coming up with a fresh plot altogether), you need to complete a plot summary test, which is worth 5% of your marks.

• Review of introductions: We will be taking some time to examine your introductions.
• We will also look at how to work on infusing dialogue and how to work a twist into your narrative.

• Introduction Test: This is another assessment portion for this unit whereby you are required to write an introduction using what you have come up with in your plot summary. This is worth 5% of your marks.
  

• Final Performance of Understanding: You will be required to write a narrative utilising whatever you have done for your plot summary, this is worth 20% of your marks.
