Assignment checkpoint and deadline

Here is our finalised assignment for the connections assessment. 

This table can help you organise your ideas.

This week the expectation was that everyone had read their fourth text by Wednesday 13 March.  In class this week we have been working on thinking about the connections between our texts and taking notes.  We want to finish this week with our notes ready for writing our draft connections reports.

I want to be able to give feedback on your drafts to ensure you know how to get the highest possible grade.  I am moving the deadline for both the draft and the final assignment so that no one is penalised by me being absent for part of week nine.

The report draft is due Thursday 28 March, by the end of period 2.  The more of your draft which is written, the better feedback I can give.  If you are ready for feedback on a complete draft earlier than this, please let me know.  I know some of you will want to get this assignment finished before the new due date so you can then turn your attention to assignments and tests in other classes.

The final report is now due Friday 5 April, 11.59pm.  If you think you have grounds for an extension, please ask me for an extension request form BEFORE the due date.

Last week we learned to form connections statements, and explored ways in which our statements could be broken down into four parts for discussion.  Each part might connect two texts - you don't have to connect all four texts across every sub-part of your connections statement.  Below are some of the screen grabs from our work last week:
