A2 Comms - Class Notebook
I have created a class notebook for our A2 Comms class on 365. This is a virtual space for us as a class - there is a content library where I have put lesson slides and materials . Plus you each have your own notebook area (a bit like an electronic exercise book) where you can store your own notes, transfer slides/materials over from the content library, and upload work for me to see. I can also leave you verbal feedback in your notebook.
Find the class notebook by going to your student email and clicking on the 365 waffle on the left:
Then click on the OneDrive icon:
Then click on 'Shared with me':

Please can you upload your script under the coursework tab. I will leave you individual feedback on it. Thanks!

A2 Comms: If you have a spare 10 minutes, watch this...
James Baldwin gives a speech at Cambridge University in 1965.

Should women be free to make money from their erotic capital?
Here's a good example of an argument being delivered concisely and clearly, and which draws on the theories we study in A2 Comms: Soapbox - The Daily Politics show 19/2/18
What then follows is a good discussion around the thesis offered in the clip above - definitely worth watching to warm yourselves up for Section A in the exam: Discussion re 'erotic capital'

A2 Comms - Great article to read!
Pertinent article in today's Guardian newspaper - great for Post Colonialism:
I’ve had enough of white people who try to deny my experience
