Revise and improve your posters:
You will need to go back to the technique posters you were allocated during transition. You can find the details of this task here. You can find your technique allocation here. Having seen what previous students have done, you should now try to improve the level of detail in them. In particular, make sure you do the following:
- Make sure your definitions are not just copied from a dictionary. They should be in easy-to-understand, plain English and should be specific.
- Explain what the general effect of the technique is in two or three sentences.
- Provide at least three examples of the technique being used.
You should use your Using Language to Persuade textbook (both the table on pages 22-25 and the relevant sections that follow) as well as online research to ensure that your definition, explanation and examples are detailed and accurate.
.
At the end you should check the following:
- Is each section correctly colour coded?
- Is the page A4 sized and in a landscape layout?
- Is there a very large, clear heading?
