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.

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
