Reading homework for Thursday - 'I used to think social media was a force for good. Now the evidence says I was wrong'

Hi all,

Just a wee reminder that I would like you to read the formative Guardian article for this coming Thursday that I gave out last week.

I would like you to think about the main points of the article, how it is structured, language used and how effective / ineffective you think it is with the likely intended audience in mind.

I will be going over the helpnotes for the final reading assessment(s) and clarifying some frequently asked questions on the assessment, marking, timelines etc. on Thursday.

If you have any questions about the final assessment, have them ready, just in case I don't cover your query in the briefing session. There is no such thing as a bad question after all!

Many thanks and well done to everybody who has been successful already in the second Listening assessment. The standard of work has been impressive again and your powers of summarising, evaluation and everything in between is improving all the time. Skills vital for the next leg of your academic journey.

If you have any comments you would like to make on the article prior to this week's class, pop them into the comments section below for discussion.

See you Thursday.

Mark
