LO 1.5 how to write a letter- Mr. Foley

Hey,

Today, Mr. Foley showed us how to write a proper letter for our LO 1.5 and showed us pointers on how to write it. He gave us the printed of the pointers to annotate it to tell us what to do or not. Also, he told us that if our signature is not-readable for our name then we must type our name under it. Plus, we got told that when writing this letter we must have an approprite language and tone to show that it must be a formal language, because we are writing to our Boss (not teacher) as we are the manager/leader of the company and were writing to the Head of the Company (C.S.U.A)
 And when writing the letter I must take the role of a manager or any senior staff of the company that took the task given by the client (Mrs. Freear).

Must do:

• Make the letter brief and no waffling.
• Do not make it an essay
• Have an appropriate language

I think that this help he gave us is really good, as it would help me know what to write to the letter we are doing and also giving me an idea.

What do you see yourself in 5 years time?

In 5 years time I might be studying Nursing in a good University or either working to be an animator.

Filling up our folders

Today, in Ms. Connells class we are just filling up our folders making sure that everything are inside our folders, so that on friday when we are handing it in, all of our work, presentations, planning, storyboards, researches, posters, drafts, and evidence are all in the folder so that we do not loose marks.


In her lesson we are just putting all of the evidence from our presentations and printing other presentations that are not printed out.


In lessons 5 and 6 we still have Ms. Connell and we are still continuing with filling up our folders, making sure the folders and blogs are all up to date. Plus, she gave us a recommendation on what to write in our LO 1.5 which is a letter about the whole UNIT 1. After, I filled up my folder I started on doing on my planning on the letter.

Going over Health and Safety

Hey,


Yesterday, we were going over the Health and Safety for our media work. Because we need to show that we know about the Health and Safety when we are taking pictures of the students for our adverts and has taken a permission from the parent/guardian of the student.


We learnt that we have to have a consent form/permission form from the person we are taking pictures of before using their pictures which were taken by us.


After that Mr. Mills showed us two websites that can help us on Health and Safety informations and forms.

LO 1.4 Assessment with Mrs. Freear (client)

Hello,

Today we had our Assessment for our product with Mrs. Freear which is the client. When I went to get assessed, she asked me if the pictures that I used are from the school website or if its the original pictures. The pictures that I used are my own pictures that I took around the school. Also, she asked me why there's a boy in the poster which is I was trying to show that this school is a mixed school which means that the sixth form teach opposite genders too. Also she told me to make the product again which is now including the pieces that I'm missing which is the contact details or the school website of the school. Overall, she likes my product that I showed her but needs to include contact details.

Media with Ms. Connell for friday (10-12-2010)

Hello.


This is the deadline for the LO 1.4 which our final product for the advert of the school. In this class we all sat down with our work and tried to print it and after that we sat down with us giving us comments for our products. Well, for me she told me to change all of the drafts I did, because I did a leaflet for the Sixth form and that is not really advertising the Sixth Form. Also, I have to bring my home laptop because I cannot open my Indesign file as I have the latest version at home.

Media with Mr. Mills and Mr. Foley on thursday (9-12-2010)

Hello,


For the lessons one and two, we had Mr. Mills and in those two lessons we are finishing our adverts for the school whether its Year 7 or Sixth Forms. I am finishing up my Leaflet for sixth formers with the information about the school and the courses given to the students. Also, it shows what the entry requirements for the subjects and the new media diploma course given to the students who only achieved 3-4 GCSEs.


For the third lesson, we had Mr. Foley and we carried on doing our adverts.

Media with Ms. Connell

Hey,


We had Ms. Connell for 3, 5, and 6 periods today.


For starters, in our lesson 3 she told us to take out our draft 1 of LO 1.4 to do a self and peer assessment in our groups of 4 people and when finished she asked us to stick our Adverts/Prints to an A3 paper and plus its 1 A3 each page of advertisement.


Then after lunch, for the 5 and 6 lesson we continued on our adverts in the A3 sheets and we have to analyse them to see what can we improve on and what went well for each. But, after finishing these up we had a discussion of how to analyse the adverts more and what to do in an advert or not. I learnt that to make a good advert we can put BIG BOLD letters so that it is eye-catching to the audience and could make a target for the advert you are doing. E.g. if the advert is based on education, you must focus on academic information and results on exams. After doing this we used the computers to continue our draft 2.

Monday Media Lesson 2

Hello,


Today we had Mr. Mills for our 5 and 6 period. At first we are just discussing on what to continue on doing in the lesson, so some decided to stay, go to the media room to continue the work and some take pictures around the school for LO 1.4.


I went to take pictures of the English Literature A Level class that is going on and manage to take a whole class photo of them working and a solo picture of one boy who is also taking the subject. After, I went to the media room to continue and try to finish my draft 1 for LO 1.4.

Hello,


Today we have Mr. Foley for our 2nd, 3rd and 4th lesson of the day. 


In the 2nd lesson, we just print out our finalised work in LO 1.3 in coloured or in black and white. However, I printed my final draft in the coloured printer and am starting now on the LO 1.4.


In the 3rd and 4th lesson we are still finalising our work and some are starting their draft in LO 1.4. I started my draft 1 on LO 1.4 and I have decided that I will do a leaflet advertising the school and also giving the readers the informations that they wanted to see inside.
