Your class scores

The table below will contain the average scores that your classmates gave you for your FOA.   Note that this is your peer's assessment.  It does not necessarily reflect the marks I will be giving.  Entry of your SE mark requires you to have satisfactorily completed your reflection and put it in your portfolio.

The maximum possible score is 45.

   Lisa: 36 points
   Chris: 36 points
   Yennah: 36 points

FOA Reflection form

FOA Reflection form
All students must complete the attached form after performing their FOA.  SE grades will not be awarded until the attached form has been satisfactorily completed and put in your portfolio.  Download the attached form and rename it FOA reflection 1 <your name>.docx.  Inform your teacher as soon as your form has been uploaded to your portfolio (in a subfolder FOA) so that the form can be checked and your mark entered in  Magister.

Avoid using "very"

Schedule for FOAs

Here is the schedule for the FOAs.  Mark this down in your diary as this is an official SE and an official IB examination.

Tips for FOAs: Street Interviews

See the wikihow page for good tips on how to do good street interviews.  And this blogpost is also useful.

Make sure you define your learning objective clearly: what do YOU want to find out by doing these interviews.  How does this relate to the selected IB learning objective?

By necessity, street interviews will be limited to using print media examples.

Do not take too much time on one person: no more than three questions per person.  Make sure the questions are clear and self-explanatory.

FOA Planning

Below is the presentation on how to do an FOA.

The upcoming deadlines are:

April 10th: Your group, topic and the form your FOA will take.
May 8th: The texts you will use to base your FOA on.
May 29th: Start FOAs in class.
June 8th: End FOAs in class

Further oral activities as se 2017 from Bob Gembey

Reading Schedule Othello

In today's lesson, the students present (Allard, Bart, Christopher, Daniël, Hannah, Jorrit, Naomi, Yennah) looked at Othello and the schedule and decided on the following reading schedule:

Act I read at home to start discussion in class on April 3rd. (+/- 20 pages)
Act II read at home to start discussion in class on April 10th. (+/- 20 pages)
Acts III, IV and V read during the project week and vacation, play finished on May 8th (+/- 50 pages).

Make sure you bring Othello to class every lesson!

Written Task #2

Your next assignment is a Written Task Type 2 for either The Stone Gods or for a Part 2 topic.

a. First proposal: 4 December 2016
b. Detailed Proposal: 11 December 2016
c. Draft reviewed by 3 fellow V5 or V6 students and corrected: 11 January 2017

Since this is an essay based upon one of six standard questions, it is imperative that all efforts be made to avoid accidental plagiarism. As IB regulations mandate, even accidental plagiarism will result in penalties, in this case a 1 for the assignment.

It is not enough to name your source in your source list.  You need to specify which text you have borrowed.  In a Type 2 task you can use an in-text reference; in a Type 1 task, you must identify what text you have borrowed in your source list.

Portfolios

Today I checked your portfolios, looking at your year 4 portfolio.  These people need to complete their V4 portfolio:

Yennah: V4 portfolio not complete

Hannah: no V4 portfolio

Daniel: Where is the TFA essay?  

Anne: No portfolio for English in year 4

Written Task Marks and Comments

I have marked your written tasks and given comments on them in Magister.
In your portfolio, create a folder for Written Task #1 and copy all the files related to this task into that folder.  Additionally, copy my comments from Magister into a word document and save it in the same folder.  You will need these comments to help you decide which written tasks to submit to the IB next year, and this will be the only way you can find them.
