The Media
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.

30 September 2009 Today we talked about scientific posters and here is a site which is quite interesting and useful in making a scientific poster.

So here are the Lyrics to the song we looked at today. Remember, the goal of each part of the activity: Part 1: to find words which fit in the space according to the grammar. Ask questions such as 'Should it be a verb, adjective, what form of the verb? Vocabulary: does this word mean something in this sentence? Part 2: Listen for words you know. Listen phonetically. Remember to share information with your neighbours, PLAYING THE GAME, of course! THE SOUNDS OF SILENCE Hello darkness my old friend, I've come to talk to you again, Because a vision softly creeping left its seeds while I was s leeping And a vision that was planted in my brain still remains, within the sounds of silence. In restless dreams I walked alone, narrow streets of cobblestone , 'Neath the halo of a pale street lamp I turned my collar to the cold and damp , when my eyes were stabbed by the flash of neon light that split the night and touched the sounds of silence. And in the naked light I saw Ten thousand people, maybe more. People talking without speaking People hearing without listening People writing songs that voices never share and no one dare disturb the sound of silence `Fools' said I `You do not know, Silence like a cancer grows. Hear my words that I might teach you, take my arms that I might reach you,' but my words like silent rainbows fell and echoed in the wells of silence. And the people bowed and prayed to the neon gods they'd made. And the sign flashed out its warning in the words that it was forming. And the sign said `The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls and tenement halls' and whispered in the sound of silence

 * **Business Plan**

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 experience 3 Personnel/staff Number of people/job function 4 Product/Service Description 5 Market Describe your market Who are your customers? Is your market growing, static or in décline? Who are thé main competitors? What are thé advantages of your product or service over thé compétition? 6 Marketing What sort of marketing or advertising do you intend to do? 7 Premises/Machinery/Vehicles Where do you intend to locate thé business and why? What sort and size of premises will you need? What machinery/vehicles do you require? 8 Objectives What objectives do you hâve for thé business? Short term Médium term Long term ||
