I was just reading the 49 edition of Point Info (the magazine from the communications department) when I came across a story about one of my former chemistry students in A3 (2008-09) who is now in the Antartic: Albane BARBERO is doing her PFE (Projet Fin d'Etudes) with the Institut Polaire Français Paul Emile Victor. She will be spending just over a year there (November 2012 to December 2013). You can find out more by reading Albane's blog:

I thought I would add something here about classes over the next few weeks.

A couple of weeks ago we started with 'processes' and I asked you to begin making your scientific poster which you and your 'binome' will be presenting to the rest of the class on Wednesday October 17. This is a short 15 mins film (quite old) about processes and you will note the use of the passive form to describe the processes.

media type="youtube" key="3qqWUCIYBYM" height="315" width="560"

I also gave you each a film to watch over the following 2 weeks and this too will be presented on Wednesday October 17th.

=Academic year: 2011-2012=

**April 25 2012**
I really enjoyed class this morning, I loved your games! As I said at the end of class, due to there being no class next Wednesday I would like you to do the following:

For May 9th Have a look at the page of magazines or just choose a scientific magazine on the net. Then find an article which interests you in the domain that you are studying. There are 2 parts to this assignment. A scientific abstract: media type="youtube" key="alr621vi-bQ" height="315" width="420"
 * 1) As with the World News assignment in S5: Add, in your box the link and some vocabulary from your article
 * 2) Write an abstract for your article which should either be sent to me or given to me in class by May 8th.

Could Nicholas and Remi make sure that they have a short game ready for class on May 9th.

Someone asked me about writing a business plan. You can find this here.

Setting up a successful business requires careful preparation and planning but also involves a degree of risk-taking. There are a number of questions that all entrepreneurs must ask themselves concerning the products or services that they intend to sell, the competition that they will face, the structure of the business itself and the sources of finance that they will need to open their new venture. This means that all of these parameters must be defined in a business plan: a document that shows how the entrepreneur will organise his or her business, how much he or she expects to sell and where the capital will come from. Once this information has been put down on paper the entrepreneur can then choose an appropriate form for the company, register it with the authorities and open for business.

On the 21 October the theme of the class was 'the media'. We looked at some newspapers and magazines, talked about advertising both printed and in on the TV, and heard some radio advertisements. The assessments from this class will be in 2 parts.

Part 1 - Following the Printed Press Over the next 6 weeks (until December) you should find and follow a story in the printed press. Each week you will be asked to talk about what has happenned in your story over the week and to listen to other stories and ask questions. At the end of the six weeks you will hand in a written document which should include either a copy of the story you read each week or the web link to the story plus a review of the story which should be between 120-180 words.

Part 2 - Video With a group you should make a 15 to 20 second video. This video should be either for a good cause or an idea or a product. This should be uploaded onto the internet (youtube of this wikispace) before 17th March, when we shall watch and comment on your videos.

**Important PCE report**
You must give me your PCE report on April 1st after the mini presentation. Your PCE report should included the details below and should be a maximum of 800 in length. Setting up a successful business requires careful preparation and planning but also involves a degree of risk-taking. There are a number of questions that all entrepreneurs must ask themselves concerning the products or services that they intend to sell, the competition that they will face, the structure of the business itself and the sources of finance that they will need to open their new venture. This means that all of these parameters must be defined in a business plan: a document that shows how the entrepreneur will organise his or her business, how much he or she expects to sell and where the capital will come from. Once this information has been put down on paper the entrepreneur can then choose an appropriate form for the company, register it with the authorities and open for business. 1 Details of the business Name of business Type of business Format (limited company, partnerships, etc) 2 Personal Details Relevant work expérience 3 Personnel/staff Number of people/job function 4 Product/Service Description 5 Market Describe your market Who are your customers?
