301TCE
1. Please make sure you have a copy of the course outline for 2017. Even though the course outline handed out in class has TRE301 and THE301 on it, please be assured that it is the same course.
2. Make sure you have a copy of the Achievement Standard AS91478 - AS3.7B, or at least know where to find it on the NZQA website:
Highlight key words in the Achievement Criteria boxes. Note that last year you were asked to ANALYSE significant connections, but this year you are expected to RESPOND CRITICALLY to significant connections in the Achievement box. A Merit grade requires you to do this convincingly, and an Excellence grade requires you to show a perceptive insight of something new or abstract that relates to the wider world or society.
Remember that your argument must be supported by evidence.
3. Make sure you have a copy of the internal Assessment resource booklet for 3.7B and bring it to class.
PUNCTUATION:
Remember that the apostrophe in contracted words such as "I'm" (I am) holds the place of one or more missing letters. In academic writing, do not use contractions. Write the words in full.
The personal pronoun "I" must have a capital letter.
Note for prefects Paula and Kimela
Please read as much as you possibly can of the Internal Assessment Resource, Achievement Standard English 91478: Respond critically to significant connections across texts, supported by evidence which is the "Resource reference: English 3.7B" . Read up to and including "Persuasive Techniques" at least. Try the exercise at the end of the "Persuasive Techniques" section asking you to label the examples with a P,L, or E. If you can manage it, read up to and including "Fonts" and do the exercise at the end.
