hi everyone! ok, i know everyone is probably stressing over the LA work, and i was too. i didn't quite understand what to do, so i e-mailed mrs ng asking for help. that was probably the one and only time i'm going to do that. anyway, her reply made it way easier to do theproject, so i thought i should help everyone a bit, by posting the e-mail here, hope it helps.

My Letter:

Dear Mrs Ng,
 
   Sorry to bother you during the holidays, but I have a few questions about the poetry assignment you assigned us, and I hope that you will answer them.
1. When we were asked to use Slims and Specs as a guide for each poem, did you mean do Slims and Specs for each poem and include the three pieces in our final product, or to use Slims and Specs as just a guide to help us understand the poems?
2. What did you mean by, "with annotations that illustrate and explain the ideas being conveyed" ?
3. How are we meant to write the introduction that explains our choice of theme and poems? Could you give me an example?
4. If I heard right, you said that we were meant to hand this assignment in in the form of a file with sections. What did you mean by sections? How did you want us to seperate the project into sections?
5. Did you set a page limit for us?
   Once again, I am sorry to have to trouble you with my questions during the holidays, but after asking around, none of my classmates were able to answer my questions, and I realised that not many people really understood what we were meant to do. I hope that you will be able to answer my questions as soon as possible.
Yours Sincerely,
Nicole Wong 1T

Her Reply:

Dear Nicole
please use the SLIMS and SPECS as a guide to annotate each poem. All poems shld go into the folder under one section.
Then, in the section of your essay, after the introduction part, explain each poem in full, using quotes ( annotations) as evidence.
As for the introductory part I do recall teaching you to write it in class. Anyway, just explain why you have chosen that theme, those poems and how each approaches the theme differently.
In future, please do clarify in class before the break if you are not sure for it can be difficult via email.
Hope all is clear now, please do not hesitate to ask if not:)
Have a good week ahead.
Regards
Muieng

Hope this post helps everyone complete their work. I wish all of you a happy last week of the holidays.

lots of love,
