12C start of new term message

Hello, not so sunny today but keep your spirits up - summer's on its way!

Lloads of progress made in recent days by Rob, Clare, Zoe, Kirsty , Ryan, Jazzi, Gee, Jenny and Jasmine. Zahra, Mishael and and Nina all achieved a lot in the holidays too, as did Paul and Nat.

So well done so far everybody! Plenty left to do though.

The best blogs name specific examples, are in your own words, directly answer the 5 questions, explicitly identify the relevant key concepts and include proper analysis.

The weaker blogs use promotional language or endless lists of detailed features as if its a sales pitch. They don't explicitly reference named examples, and avoid analysis and explicit use of theory. They rely on lots of lots of copy/paste. They are way too detailed with loads of irrelevant information that you will never need to use in your exam.

The best examples after a final look this morning are: Mishael's, Jazzi's, Clare's, Nina's, Paul's, and Zoe's. Ryan and Zahra's are getting close. If your name hasn't been mentioned, scrutinise your blog closely and think about where you might be going wrong. You will get a chance to reflect on this and develop your work further this week. Use the above pointers as a guide to help you.
