Georgeousnesses!
I will be doing some whole-class work, briefly, and then going on to 1:1s. You have some tasks to do:
1) please visit the A2 Moodle page, which now has some resources on. Could you please locate (in the top box) the link to a questionnaire on feedback for the A2 coursework module and do that.
2) If you can do the following today, great, if you can't please do it by next Tuesday: please upload your investigation and media text to Turnitin. You have to paste them together into one file before you can upload them as it will only accept one file.
3) Browse through the resources on Moodle to see what's there and also see what I have uploaded to my blog (finish this in your private study time - allow time today for the last task).
4) From the terminology for how language changes that you researched for homework over the holiday, pick one term and choose an interesting word that has undergone that kind of change (and maybe other kinds e.g. 'gay' has undergone pejoration, broadening, amelioration etc.). Reasearch all the different uses of that word (e.g. in idioms, collocations, slang uses, famous quotes, product names etc.) and write an entry on your blog exploring the uses of the word and how uses change meanings (using terminology that describes how language changes). Basically, write an explanation of the different uses of the word in different contexts (changes over time and changes of meaning in different phrases/places).
We will be using the terminology on Friday, so revise/learn it as well as you can, along with the other targets you have set yourself.
You are bril!
