Clevernesses,
I will take in one of your moderation wekk essays to have a look at, so please choose one to hand in and I will come around and get them.
For this lesson, I have two tasks for you (please read all the instructions first).
1) Please go to the emagazine site:
http://www.englishandmedia.co.uk/emag/
Go to the green button in the top-left-hand corner marked 'enter the subscriber's site' and put in the logon emagazine11 with the password yx647wh
Go to 'emagpast Archive search' and click on 'Language topics'.
I would like you to choose a Language Change article. Summarise the key ideas (using short quotes if you wish) and review it for your peers, so they can see if it is worth reading - can you think of any other ideas or examples to link to (or contrast with) what you read? Spend no more than 45 minutes on this.
2) Now go to our Moodle page. In the recommended resources section you will find 'Links to a variety of language uses'. Watch two or three of these and choose one to write a blog post about, discussing issues it highlights about Power, Gender, Language Change etc. Write engagingly and use quotes etc.
Spend the rest of the lesson reading and commenting on the blog posts of your peers - I really want to see comments from everyone.
