Looking ahead
Dear oh people from 21/08,
Some of you may rejoice while some will feel the pain after receiving your results. Remember: There's no point crying and blaming... It pays more if you truly reflect what didn't quite work well. Look ahead and work towards a formula that works for you!
It's now more important to give your best in your PW WR and OP!

PW from Ms Tan - Do NOT delete, not homework, just reminders
Dear all,
Some reminders abt PW
WR - remember to improve on organisation
- remember to showcase your mini poilet project, trial, survey or interview
- remember to do SI
- remember to think of insightful limitations
- remember to look for books in library abt your topics, especially useful for SI and for intro and conclusion
- include word count
- include bibliography
- include proper citation
- include annex with the emails you send out, summary of survey, information on poilet projects or anything that will show the research you have done
OP
- Prepare your speech, write a script even if you intend not to refer to it. This will help to organise your thoughts
- Include relevent pictures. Pictures included must be refered to
- Include survery results
- Have a maximum of two type of animation for the appearance of words
- Distinguish the headings and subheading from content using underline, bold, font size or font colour
- Have a standard format for the slides. All headings, subheadings and content should follow same format.
- Use animation or formatting to emphasize on key points
- Should have about 30-40 slides (too many cannot finish, too few lacks content)
- Reherse on your own and time your speech before the "official" rehearsal next week
- For Q&A, remember to stay calm, you should know enough about your project to answer everything. If not, think of something reasonable on spot. You will impress the assessors if you can answers with substaination from your survey, interview, articles, research, case study or examples from other countries. Read about everything that is related with your project even if you are not including the infor in you WR. May be necessary for OP.
I&R
- One draft only! Make sure it is good. No time to do 2nd draft anyway
- Can start handing it to me
- Remember the lessons learnt from PI and EOM. The marking criteria (A&E and GI)is the same.
- It's not the breath but the depth that we are marking for
- Refer to your old EoM, GPP and WR draft.
- What are the ideas you have changed?
- Why did you changed them?
- In what ways are the new ideas an improvement of the old one?
- How will the new ideas better help you achieve your aim for your project?

I KNOW YOU ARE READIN' THIS.
Yo yo people! I'm here! Veronica!! Your beloved class leader geez. Yeah our class blog is open again and feel free to blog here. Anyone in 21/08 can blog and our teachers too. Teachers, posts regarding homework will be Deleted. *looks around and walks away to get my tea* Alright, so I'm not too sure about that. :]
Shall we lay some rules down here? Or should it be freedom of speech. Ah, let's think aobut these later. I'm gonna announce the birth of this tomorrow (birth? *shrugs*) and hopefully posts will be posted very soon. Anything, just type. Do you think I have a script here? No. That's why it's beginning to sound all over the place.
TOMORROW, my lovely 21/08 people! Cherish the time we have together now and enjoy all of it. YAY to the fun that awaits all of us!!! Plus, I'm thinking of some what, chalet? BBQ? Dinner? ?___? Tell me anything that relates to it. Thanks!
