VS 2A 2009 English Language Blog

Dear all,

Thanks for the timely submission of your storyboards! I will be returning them to you sometime this week.

The next few components for CA2 are as follows:

Summary (25 marks)
Reading Programme (30 marks)

Summary - The English CA on 12 Aug 2008 will be on summary. Hence, we will be wrapping up the summary unit by this week and I will give you guys some practice over the next few lessons.

Reading Programme - Unless you have been otherwise informed, the due date is this Friday, 1 Aug 2008. For the others, it will be on Monday 4 Aug 2008.

I will not be entertaining any late submissions as RP is a component in CA2 and all marks have to be keyed in very soon.

Thank you.

Regards,
Mr Tan

For this year's Youth Day, VS is taking on the Care with a Can Project where we are appealing to all students and teachers to donate a can of food to help those in need. We are working with Marine Parade Family Service Centre to contribute food supplies to needy households that have an income of less than $300 per month.

All are encouraged to bring a can of food and drop it at the collection point at the foyer (between the Heritage Room & the General Office) from 9 to 11 July (Wed - Fri). With the recent rising food prices, their contribution will mean a lot to the needy.

On a side note, please choose canned food wisely and remember to keep it practical! You should be thinking along the lines of luncheon meat, canned sausages, canned curry, sardines, baked beans, canned vegetables etc rather than the can of cranberry sauce you didn't manage to open during Christmas!

Look forward to your contributions!

Best Wishes,
Mr Tan

hi all,

The assessment for the film review will take place next Monday, 14 Jul 2008.

Once I receive your film review drafts, I will review them and return them to you by Thursday so you have Friday and the weekend to prepare for the CA.

In the meantime, I will be moving onto storyboarding.

See you on Wednesday.

Best Wishes,
Mr Tan

Gentlemen,

As we continue with our film studies module, we will continue to learn to write a film review. Upon completion of the practice of the various components of a film review, we will then proceed to write our film reviews in class next Monday 7 Jul 2008. This component will be worth 30% of CA2.

Thereafter we will spend the remaining lessons of week 3 focusing on storyboarding and the storyboards that you put up will be worth 10% of CA2.

For the remainder of Term 3, this is what you can expect:

1) Summary Module (30% of CA2)
2) Reading Aloud (10% of SA2)
3) Complete final RP task (30% of CA2)
4) Practice paper 1 and paper 2 until SA2.

As you can see, there isn't alot of time left for the year, so remember, be consistent!

Best Wishes,
Mr Tan
