Hi All,
I'm very excited about starting Term 2 as I have been doing lots of thinking and writing over the holidays and am very eager to make a start on Life of Galileo.
As you know, our orals are first and these will commence Week 2:

The orders for both classes are as follows:
Mon the 28th:

As already noted in previous email, the orals have been shifted a day because of my absence on the 29th due to a school commitment.
Please also note that you are to bring your books to every class as the speeches will NOT take all class and we will do Life of Galileo for the second half of the lesson.
Other matters:
1)Please print out Insight Text Article - Life of Galileo on Schoology under the Creating and Presenting, Life of Galileo section.
2) Start up a research document for contextualisation for LOG:
Please research the following and do in a word document or in your books:
Answer must be detailed in order to build your comprehension of the social and historical context of the play.
1) Galileo
2) Bruno Giordano
3) Nicolaus Copernicus
4) Clausius Ptolemy and the Ptolemaic System
5) Geocentric
6) Heliocentricity
7) the telescope
We will add to this as we go : DUE MONDAY
Also:
I'm cross-marking Language Analysis tomorrow and then will put your final marks on the system. I do not know when they will be handed back as I have not been told ( so PLZ don't ask every lesson :) )! I would assume Week 2 or 3.
This term, there will be some time allocated for computer usage with the Creating and Presenting element but strictly NO mobile phones for the rest of the year. I am not to see them!
First 10-15 mins of class will always involve me talking to you about the structure of the lesson and goals to be achieved etc (as I have done all year) so there will be strictly no devices in the opening of the class. Do not come in a pop your computer screen up. Class time is for CONTACT. I'm a little bit over "policing" so if we can all implement a more harmonious arrangement in regards to devices, the more constructive class time will be!
Excellent!
Ok, so we will work on speeches for the rest of the week, I am looking forward to reading all of them and fine-tuning. The ones I have already read look fantastic and I think there will be some brilliant deliveries.
See you tomorrow and get ready for an action-packed term.
Organisation is Key (persuasive technique: cliche)!
