It's the first week of March! Time flies! Busy week, last week.
Tuesday as I mentioned we had a literature assessment about analytical reading I think this was the last phase of introduction to literature. Madeleine gave us a book to read" Heart of Darkness" by Joseph Conrad. I've read the first 20 pages despite the small print! I'm impatient to see what exactly we will be doing with it in class. I've come across some unfamiliar vocabulary in it which I am writing down and looking up in the dictionary as I go along.

Spanish finally have to do the Advanced Higher assessment so I have prepared my oral assessment and I need to communicate with Jordi about when I can start doing my extra assessments. I'm happy to progress even more in Spanish but the extra work is scary! The key to this is organisation because I feel a lot of work on the horizon after the Easter break!
French, I have done my power point presentation and await tomorrow to perform in class. It should be ok just need to revise the spiel. I then have Reading assessment and writing assessment in the following weeks this gets it out of the way.
I am also doing a course at the open university of Edinburgh French and European Politics. I have chosen to do this to see if I would enjoy studying politics and International relations at university, this could help my choice.
Communication with Scott! Lots of work: assessing people's presentation skills as well as analytical thinking. The programme we watched was about spiritualism. We had to work out the main arguments and points. During that hour I learnt how to take notes of the main points whilst watching the programme, as well as analysing the main ideas and proving their effectiveness.
We have 2 more presentations to do and I have chosen to do a talk about healthy eating and nutrition.
I need to work out a plan and do some research, the question is how can I put my point across clearly? As well as which main points do I want to talk about?

Friday history; this is new for me religion I draw a blank I'm trying to suss out dates and locations. We will be doing the Renaissance in Italy. We have some research to do for the next couple of weeks. Research is good I feel that I grasp a lot more researching stuff myself.
However we watched a TV programme and I learnt that the Renaissance was mostly in Italy and it sadly by passed Scotland what a shame! The French architecture was inspired by it as well as artists. The Churches and architecture also changed .
