Comments
---------------------------------
Average time spent on a book?? 10 weeks is too long... do it in 3 weeks, and hand out the book the first day in year one or two!!

DO MAJOR ASSESSMENTS OUTSIDE OF SCHOOL'S TESTWEEK (if possible)

Teach your Part 4 texts just before the Individual Oral Exam (depending on where you put them)

Do approx. 5 Further Orals

Only have the students write rationales for the Written Tasks they actually hand in

Language and Mass Communication

A useful resource is www.vjmovement.com This is a group of independent video journalists, who produce videos on global issues (eg child labour), and back-up material, such as UN reports. They also produce cartoons on similar topics. At the moment, they have a project where cartoonists visit schools and enter into an online dialogue with students, with a view to producing a series of cartoons on subjects that concern our students. They are hoping to involve more schools in the Netherlands. HUGH M
