STARTING YOUR PRESENTATION SCRIPT

You should now be starting to write the presentation script. Your research (primary and secondary) must continue, and be fed into your emerging script.
Study the material I gave you in the last lesson. Read my comments on your blog under the Catalogue, and make sure you act on them before Thursday.
On Thursday, I will be clarifying the format for the script, and we'll be writing your opening paragraph/s. Make sure you have all of your work accessible in the lesson.
NEXT DEADLINE: PRESENTATION OF YOUR SCRIPT DRAFT TO ME - WEEK COMMENCING NOVEMBER 29th.

CATALOGUE DEADLINE EXTENDED TO THURSDAY THIS WEEK (3rd Nov)

Just to remind everyone - an advanced draft of your CATALOGUE, using the correct format, and including around 15 items MUST be on your blog by the extended deadline of THURSDAY NOVEMBER 3rd.
In the lesson and via the blog, I will give you feedback. You must assume that this is an ongoing process, and that you will continue to gather material for the Catalogue to feed into the script right through until the final few weeks this term.
During this half term, you will begin to work on the PRESENTATION SCRIPT  - which as you know, is your discussion of what you have discovered, your evaluation of what you have discovered, and your own ideas/conclusions regarding your topic. You should start to look at exemplar scripts for ideas on format, but we'll be doing more on this in lessons.

I'll be introducing more detailed instructions for the Catalogue, due in on Tues November 1st (Tues after half term).

DON'T FORGET TO LOG ALL RESEARCH!

Last week and the previous week my top tips were about logging research.
Here's a reminder of the blank log sheet on moodle. I strongly recommend you use this, or something similar to ensure that you are recording progress, and evaluating sources as you go along.
Whatever method you use, you MUST show progress on the blog, so that I can assess how you're getting on, and advise you, and you can also see where you're up to.



SSRP LOGGING RESEARCH - UPLOAD MATERIAL EVERY WEEK TO YOUR BLOG USING THIS FORMAT

Source details – Use Harvard referencing, or equivalent for moving image sources
(include page numbers etc)

Primary or Secondary?
Summary of its content in about 5 lines – key points in your own words (you could copy and paste original for the blog)
How you hope to use it – relevance to your investigation?
Use or reject?
You may fill this in later.
