Independent Study - Setting Up

For 13C students...

Here is the full list of the tasks that need to be completed by next lesson (18-10-05):

TASK ONE
(This first section was last week's homework - please check that you have done it all)

• Set up your blog and email me the address

• Post a first entry that includes the working title of your essay

• This should also contain a fairly succinct overview/summary of your planned investigation

• Upload an image that is relevant for your study (to demonstrate you've mastered Blogger)

• Post five useful internet links that you have discovered through your research

• Outline each separate link with a one or two sentence summary

TASK TWO
(This second section is the latest homework)

• Make any changes or improvements based on my first comments posted about your blog so far

• Visit all the 13C blogs listed in the links section to the left of this message

• Identify the five that are most clearly linked to your own study

• For each one of these, post a comment to include three instances of positive feedback for each criticism

• Make seven separate new posts on your blog - one for each of the Key Concepts (MIGRAIN)

• Explain in these posts how each Key Concept is linked to your text/topic

• Make one final post that lists the student blogs you have commented on with a hyperlink to each comment. (Just copy each url from the address bar on your browser and paste them into the post)

There will be credits for the best work, as usual.

Do let me know if you are having any problems.

And don't forget - this is research towards your exam coursework. It's worth 40% of this year so it has to be good!! Put in the effort now and writing the thing is guaranteed to be easier.

Next week - Wider Contexts!
