Personal and Professional Skills Year 2-Period 5A Assignments

This is week is Teacher Appreciation Week! Click on the link below and go to Flipgrid.

🎥Record a short "thank you" message for ACE teachers. Let your teachers know why you appreciate them! (You can thank a specific teacher or multiple teachers).

After all of the videos are collected I will put them into a Flipgrid mixtape and share the videos with them.

Begin drafting and creating your additional format!

The chosen additional format should support and add information to the reflective project overall. Crucially, the content of the additional format must be different from the essay. For example, students should not take an argument presented in the essay and then repeat it in the additional format. The two elements should complement each other, each adding value to the other, ensuring that as an overall submission the assessment criteria are satisfied. Repetition or simply reformatting information will lose a student marks.

-A short film (7 minutes). Students are free to create whatever type of film they believe will be a valuable component of their reflective project, for example, a documentary, a drama, a news report and so on. They can choose to submit a written film script instead (700 words).
-A spoken presentation (recorded on audio/video; 7 minutes). A presentation provides students with the opportunity to address, in a spoken format, aspects of their reflective project. They can choose to submit a written script instead (700 words).
-An interview (recorded on audio/video; 7 minutes). An interview allows students to be creative by imagining and developing a discussion between two or more people. They can choose to submit a written script instead (700 words).
-A play (recorded on audio/video; 7 minutes). The play should include one or more characters performing a spoken drama that supports elements of the reflective project. It can include dialogue, music and sound effects. Students can choose to submit a written script instead (700 words).
-A display (a storyboard or photo essay using up to 15 annotated images; 700 words). A storyboard/ photo essay is usually a linear narrative told through imagery. Students can decide what their imagery will accomplish and how it will contribute to the reflective project overall. For example, it could provide an overview of their reflective project and create points of discussion or illustrate particular ideas.

This will be modified to fit your senior projects and include Duolingo.

We will play one or two songs per class fr the rest of the semester. Listen for your song!!!

For this project, you will research your desired career, learn more about the writing and communication skills it requires, interview someone in the field, and compile all of this in a presentation that you will deliver to your peers.
