'Edit' your AO1 Information Sources post and add 'human remains' as a source of information.

Email Reminder / Work Update

This e-mail was sent on Sunday 2nd October:

Mr Turner's guide training interupted our lesson on Friday. However, the deadline for AO1 remains the end of this term, which means that we are now behind.

As a result, I would like you to do the following before the next lesson:

1. Add to your AO1 assesment of information sources, 'photographs'. It may help you to discuss in small groups (as we would do in class) and then write your short introduction, strengths, weaknesses and overall evaluation. I would like you to insert at least 2 of the photo's you saved to 'my documents' and explain what conclusions you can make from looking at the photo, and what information it doesn't tell you.                                 
2. Add to your AO1 assesment of information sources, 'paintings and drawings' as one single source. It may help you to discuss in small groups (as we would do in class) and then write your short introduction, strengths, weaknesses and overall evaluation. This will be similar to the photographs section, but maybe even less reliable / accurate. Try to find some example drawings/paintings from conflict to use as examples.

In summary, by Wednesday 12th October, you should have on your Blog:

1. AO1 Assessment of Information Sources - Films, Personal accounts, Documentaries, Photographs, Paintings and Drawings.
2. Personal accounts - thoughts on 9/11 personal accounts
3. 4 photographs saved into 'My Pictures'
4. 4 Drawings or paintings saved into 'My Pictures'

If you need any help, contact me as soon as possible.

In preparation for our next lesson (Wednesday 28th Sept, P4) I would like you to follow the link below and listen to the personal account of Stanley and Brian, (at the bottom left).

I would like you to blog a post titled "AO1 - personal accounts" and write about your thoughts on the clip. Label it with "AO1"

I then want you to find another personal account from a different person, and write in the same blog about that.

In our lesson, we will assess the value of personal accounts as a source of information.

Good luck.

Wide ranging - lots of movies.
Easy to watch - TV, Internet, Cinema

Weaknesses
Can be misleading due to "artistic licence", to make it more entertaining.
