AS Coursework lesson 11/11/14 - planning

Lovelinesses,

today's task is to plan and start writing your pieces.

Remember that your plans go into your coursework folder. They can be handwritten or typed and can be as scruffy as you like - they are working documents! Don't copy them out again! They are to show the thinking that has gone in and that the pieces are your own work.

The plan should show:

• the conventions you will use (maybe with an indication or diagram of the layout)
• the techniques you will use that your style model taught you (and where/how you will integrate them and adapt them for your content) and any other techniques you plan to use
• the content that you are planning to cover (and an indication of the discourse structure you will use to do so)
• any other considerations including audience, purpose, tone, register, pace etc.

It is vital that you use ALL of the conventions for your form/genre that are appropriate - the ones your SM uses.

It is also vital that you keep a bibliography (using Harvard referencing) to go into your coursework folder - your SM does not need to go in that (because you are including it in the coursework folder) but anything else that you use for research or that has influenced your writing must be in your bibliography.

I will be available to answer any questions.

The deadline for writing the first 500 words(ish) of pieces 1&2 and uploading them in a single Word file to Turnitin is 11.59 Tuesday (18th November) night. You will have next week's computer room lesson before then but you must find time to ensure it is the best possible work - don't just use the time in class! You can always use next week's computer room time to carry on developing your pieces further.
