Your Final Task... and Submission Procedures

Dear students,

This is your last and final task for this entire blogging exercise, and you have come a long way.

However, before I release the task, let me first highlight to you how this entire project will be graded.

The total assessment will be over 70 marks in total. The breakdown is as follows:

Criteria	Marks Allocated
Submission of all 4 blog posts and comments on other blogs	8
Punctuality of submission	2
Design of blog posts	10
Objectivity of blog posts	5
Objectivity of comments	5
Relevance to topics	5
Relevance of comment to post	5
Chosen blog post for submission	30
Total marks	70

You will have to choose one of your 4 blog posts and print it out for submission in T3W1 to your respective English teachers.

Do note that this project is being considered to be part of CA2, so I do suggest for those who have yet to post your blog entries or comment on your friends' posts, to do so by the end of this week.

Now, on to task 4

I read, I think, I respond.

Recently, there has been a sad event that happened to the students and teachers of Tanjong Katong Primary School in their Mount Kinabalu expedition. In total, 8 students and 2 teachers passed away. Read up on some articles that have been written about this incident.

Following which, choose one of the following 2 questions to answer. Spend approximately 2/3 of your post on this question.

a)    Do you think that it is wise to let primary six students go for such an expedition?

b)    What are some safety measures that can be taken if such an expedition were to be conducted again?

For the remaining 1/3 of your post, share your personal thoughts and opinions after reading about this incident.

Do remember to be objective, and not to be overly critical in your assessment. Support your views with relevant examples.

Post your reflections on your blogs by 29 June 2015.

 NOTE: You will NOT HAVE TO COMMENT on any of your friends' posts for this final entry.

That's all, everyone. I hope you have managed to get some rest this June holidays, and completed your holiday homework. See all of you when school reopens for Term 3!
