AS lesson 16/6/14 and homeworks

Intelligents!

*** DON'T FORGET TO SIGN UP FOR ENRICHMENT SESSIONS ***

Today we are going to do some transcribing and analysing to give you some practice in case you need to do some spoken data collection for your coursework or for mini investigations.

We will be doing some phonetic transcription tomorrow and Friday (some students from St Bernadettes Year 10 are joining us for tomorrow's lesson) so you can come back and improve the transcription you have done today with some phonetic symbols to represent non-standard pronunciations (performance errors, accents, non-lexical sounds etc.) after we've studied that closely. Use the link below as one of the ways to create the symbols but investigate other ways and if you find a good one, please comment below:

But, for today, use the standard transcription techniques and put a key for the ones you use above your transcription. Do your analysis on it today and then post to your blog and then post the improved one later after the phonetics lesson(s), explaining the changes and why the phonetic symbols are important for analysing the transcript (what could you look at in detail with the phonetics information provided?). Finish this for Tuesday next week (24th).

Here are the links. Do an extract from one of these and one of your own choice from elsewhere (they could be connected or unconnected). Write an analysis of one or both (identify the APF, and use theories and terminology to do close PEE analysis) and post to your blog today. If you finish this work, first make a comment on someone else's blog and then use the time to read articles from my blog - try and get up to date with these over the summer and keep a bibliography/make notes.

Tips: search for a connecting/contrasting clip, keep the time short by choosing an extract (2 mins is plenty), go back and add the pauses, micropauses and interruption marks at the end. Work fast and hard to get each one done in under half an hour.

Summary of homeworks: 1) improve one of your transcripts with phonetic transcription in some places and repost with an explanation of what the symbols allow someone studying the transcript to analyse and why it is interesting 2) get up to date with the articles I have posted this year during your summer reading - post comments wherever possible on my blog and your peers' blogs
