Assemblies - November 2007

Assemblies will be presented as PowerPoint presentations with the accompanying Word document

"The information in the word documents is written, largely, in simple English which gives presenters the opportunity to stamp their own personality on the presentation and to adapt the information to their own speaking style."

"The PowerPoint slides, signified by the abbreviation Ppt and then followed by the relevant number, are designed to be displayed alongside the sections indicated."

"Regarding the follow-up sections, Further Reading, Viewing, Listening etc. This information is given for inclusion on the school website with pupils being told about its presence. It provides a great opportunity for them to learn more about the subject matter at the core of the assembly - the weblinks particularly providing rich sources of information."
