Yr 11 CLASSWORK

You have all done your coursework (called Non Examined Assessment now) and you have done a full exam last summer as well as a full mock for me. So I have a lot of evidence of your attainments.

However, Mr Hitchcock tells us we do not know exactly what additional evidence the exam boards may ask us to provide so we are to keep working!

In that light, please would you now do the work that has been set on the class blog for the year 10s this last week. It has been on Warner and Lego.

Post it on your blog. There it will be in case the exam board ask for more evidence. I will supply your blog urls.

Please also go through your News Website and check that it all works perfectly:

• that no links are broken or fail to open
• that no video is over 45 seconds
• that all news articles (even on the linked pages) have a standfirst
• spelling and punctuation is perfect
• check if I have emailed you!

I do hope that you are all well? I am working harder than ever marking coursework for other year groups. So I am usually to be found on my laptop, if you need me.

There will be more classwork and GoogleMeet lessons next term which resumes on Tuesday 21 March. Our GoogleMeet will be on Tuesday afternoons.
