Class: 7/11/2014

Yesterday we had a writing intensive. We looked at how to approach Writing Part 1, the compulsory essay.

If you missed class you should write either the essay based on the two texts about museums on page 22

or the essay about music based on the two texts on page 56.

Remember:

• structure your essay carefully into 3-5 coherent and discrete paragraphs
• to achieve a good mark for 'content', you should identify, summarise and evaluate two or three key points in each text, make some comment about similarities and differences between the texts, and add some relevant content of your own
• this is homework, not an exam- I expect some people to use spell-checkers and dictionaries, so YOU might as well too. Check your work and rewrite as often as you like. I will be more strict about correctable errors (spelling, low-level grammar mistakes, incorrectly used vocabulary) than if it were a timed writing
