Hi guys

This is the information and instructions page for Home Learning from Term 3 Week 10 to Term 4 Week 1.


 * Term 3 Week 10, Last Day of School**

1. Read and summarise the assigned chapters in //The Third Wave.//

Chapter 12: The Commanding Heights - **Yu Ann, Bing Lin, Chen Xu** Chapter 13: De-Massifying the Media - **Juan Lih, Guo Xin, Daniel** [|Chapter 13] media type="custom" key="4359825" Chapter 15: Beyond Mass Production - **Nelson, Chi Chian, Kai Chin media type="custom" key="4363979"** Chapter 17: Families of the Future - **Lim Kiat, Zhiyuan, Xu Jie, Bohan** media type="custom" key="4392333" Chapter 19: Decoding the New Rules - **Wei Ze, Yuping, Cheong Keat** Chapter 20: The Rise of the Prosumer - **Hong Wei, Tim Tan, Jeff** Chapter 23: Gandhi with Satellites - **Tim Tay, Wenhao, Xiaochun** Chapter 25: The New Psycho-Sphere - **Yuge, Xin Xin, Zhiwen, Baifeng** Chapter 26: The Personality of the Future - **Zhu Han, Ziyuan, Jiesheng**
 * Grouping**

//The groups are relatively small so meeting online shouldn't be a problem. Bear in mind that this is meant to be GROUP WORK so don't be a free-loader. Although you will NOT EARN any more CPs or marks through this exercise, the knowledge gained from reading the prescribed chapters as well as good summaries provided by your classmates will go a long way towards helping you prepare for the exam.//

2. Your will do your discussion in groups and construct a mindmap to represent the KEY points in the chapter. Go to [|http://bubbl.us] to use the software. Embed the software in the appropriate wikispace pages. The first has been created for you and the rest should follow suit.

To embed, click EDIT, then click on the "chain" icon, select EXTERNAL link and paste the url of your mindmap in there. Give the link a title. Alternatively, if you have great difficulty in embedding the mindmap, SHARE the mindmap with me using the Bubbl.us website.

Treat this like an SRQ exercise, you will identify the MAIN idea in the chapter and pick out three supporting arguments to comment on. Label each component cleary. Determine if Toffler's argument is sound and evaluate the idea clearly. If you are in agreement, support with reasons from the text as well as REAL life examples outside of the text.] If you disagree, point out the problem and provide reasons or alternatives.

**Submission date: End of Sept Hols**

**Term 4 Week 1**

You will receive your Ecotourism Comprehension. Log in to the iVLE workbin, "EcoTourism Answer" to refer to the answer key for the summary question. You will do corrections for the summary based on the points given in the answer scheme. As most of your summaries are disjointed and poorly organised with few or no links between points to indicate whether the point is a CAUSE or a SOLUTION, you will focus on creating the transitional links in the correction exercise. All are to do the corrections and work on TWO areas: (i) Use of own words (ii) Use of Language Corrections that are well done will be be rewarded with BONUS marks. I will minus marks from your original scores for students who copy from others and who lend others your work for copying.
 * Tue (15 Sept)**

Computer Lab 2 is booked for your use. The workbin closes on the same day.

**Wed (16 Sept)** You will receive the LAST comprehension practice for the year. It's the 2008 EOY paper. Complete the assignment within the given time and hand in to the EL Rep (Bohan) who will submit the comprehensions to my desk.
