Homework Wednesday, January 10

PWT Preparation
1. General advice. A writing strategy must include time to plan, write, and edit your answer. The PWT allows about 13 minutes per question. Review "Tips for Taking a Short Answer Test, SGW p. 49.

2. Check the ELP website for specific details of the test and your test room (arrive early).

3. I recommend that you review the critical examination you have completed as a class:

PWT Preparation: AE Answers to Silver Comprehension Questions (from DIY)

PWT Preparation: AG Answers to Silver Comprehension Questions (from DIY)

Especially review your understanding of Silver Comprehension Question 16, about life in "the general sense" and "life in the special sense".

PWT Preparation: AG Silver Key Vocabulary (from DIY)

PWT Preparation: AE Silver Key Vocabulary (from DIY)

PWT Preparation: Silver Essential Vocabulary (from Web Box)

4. Write PWT Practice Test answers again. You have written answers 1-3 already and we have reviewed these answers in class. For Practice Test Question 4, class answers to Silver Comprehension Questions 31-36 contain reasons that may be useful in your answer.

5. I recommend that you use the Bioethics PWT Sample structure for answers to guide you in writing your Test answers.

Essay: First Draft (400+)
Post your First Draft to your blog (do not worry about the peer review checklist, we will organise partners on Friday). Print a copy and bring your writing to class.

Goodluck to everyone, many of you have prepared strongly, I wish you all the best on the PWT.
