Dear BA,
I hope you had a productive time on your essay/WP today.
Here are four assorted things:
1. Timetable: This was changed a little today, please always check the Homepage version.
2. WP Groups 8-9: I checked your thesis statements today, please see my comments on your DIY Preparation Form.
These points develop points on the Timetable:
3. Essay First Draft: You need to print & bring B1, B2, B3, & the Conclusion on Friday. This is not a big thing, but if you leave some space at the top of the document, you can use that space when you write your Introduction in class.
4. WP: Please be sure your DIY Preparation Form is up to date before 9 am Friday, so that I have some time to review your progress and be able to assist you better in class.
Bye for now, Owen.

ARW Information: WP thesis statements
Dear Class,
I have looked again at thesis statements for Groups 1-7. The thesis is the most important statement of your presentation, it controls key content and organisation of your ideas. Now some are better, however, some still have not been updated (as called for in homework last Friday, which is not good). To read my updated comments, please go to your DIY WP Preparation Forms.
Groups 8-9, I am sorry, I will check your thesis statements tomorrow.
Best, Owen.

ARW Question: Your ideas and preferences for WP
Dear BA,
I have what I think is a good idea for Winter Project. However, there are many, many other good ideas suitable for WP and I would like us to share many of the good ideas that exist within our class. The goal is to decide on a project that is both interesting to the whole class and useful to you individually in terms of improving your English and developing your knowledge of a particular topic. A WP can be almost any kind of oral presentation on any particular topic, individual or group. I would like each of you to answer the questions below to help us decide on the WP this semester. Simply click "Reply" and then write your answers below.
Please reply by Friday, 7.30 a.m.
------------------------------------------
Your name:
1. What topic would you like to do? It does not have to be related to ELP Reader topics, 'Biothethics' or 'Visions of the Future.'
(Please write your answer here)
2. Would you prefer everyone does the same topic, or are different topics OK?
(Your answer here)
3. Would you like to work by yourself, with a partner or in a small group?
(Your answer here)
4. How long should a WP presentation be?
(Your answer here)

ARW Information: BA Silver Study Guides
Dear Class,
It is 8pm Wednesday and you can collect your Silver Study Guides from your ILC mailboxes. However, you might prefer to access them now on the DIY Textbook, here and here.
There may be some grammar errors I missed in trying to get the Comprehension Questions back to you quickly, but the accuracy of all the answers is reliable I believe. If you think you may be the first to receive this message, please text your classmates from your keitai. Thank you, I sure some of your classmates will want to do PWT study this evening and would really appreciate your message. Good luck to everyone, see you on Friday.
