SPANISH

Potential AS students need to ensure that they know all the harder vocabulary and grammar constructions form GCSE. Therefore do the following:

a) Go to Linguascope
b) Go to 'Intermediate'
c) Click on each topic (1 at a time)
d) Go to 'Materiales para imprimir'
e) Choose the first of the 2 (the worksheet that has all the exercises on) and print and complete.

There are 30 topics and 30 worksheets in all. I would like all students to have these completed for September. They should use dictionaries and also the 2nd of the 'Materiales para imprimir' which have the vocab from each topic. In addition to this, they can also do all the exercises and play the games for each topic.

MUSIC

This task IS for Summer 2011!

Potential students on the either of the 2 BTEC Music courses should prepare EITHER:

A short performance, played on an instrument or sung. A backing track may be used if desired. It might be an original song you have written, or an existing piece of music. You may wish to self-accompany, e.g. sing and play guitar. You may borrow a school instrument or microphone to perform, but you should check in advance that it is available.

OR:

A short composition, produced using music production software, e.g. Garageband or Logic Pro on a Mac, or Fruityloops or Cubase on a PC. The file must be brought in either as an MP3 or as an audio CD. You may use pre-made loops and samples. If you do not have access to appropriate software, instead create a DJ set of 4-6 songs and be prepared to explain why you have chosen the music and why, in your opinion, it works well as a set.

IN ADDITION

Performance - Write your musical CV

Production - Research studio equipment and do a costing for this

ICT


  • Create a simple website (2 pages at most) using Dreamweaver. There should be the use of consistent house styles, interactivity and hyperlink system

  • Create a simple animation (30 seconds) using Flash

  • Use complex functions (if statements, H lookup, V lookup, Countif, Count) to create a simple spreadsheet system for a small restaurant

  • Create a relational database with at least 3 tables  for a library system. This should also include the use of complex query systems, macros and forms
