Week 8

This week’s task was the most challenging yet. It was difficult to stop at just outlining the maiden speech as the task also had us introducing talking points around the structure. I tried to keep these minimal but struggled. It was hard to hold back as the ideas came organically as I started writing. I did use these ideas and elaborate on the introduction and conclusion as I knew I these ideas would be valuable for Assessment 2.

I did feel overwhelmed with the workload this week. Perhaps the outline and the talking points/notes could be divided across over 2 weeks of learning? I would have enjoyed exploring and develop my rhetoric devices around the structure before having to delve into the script. I’m hoping the time invested in this week task will serve me well when I start on Assessment 2.

One thought on “Week 8

  1. Thanks for engaging with the activity this week Alicia, even though it felt a bit odd. It can be hard to keep things simple when you mind engages and starts trying to write the entire thing! Breaking work down into achievable ‘chunks’ is part of good time management and that’s partly what the workbook this week was encouraging you do practice.
    The speech you’ve outlined here looks good and fits the required framework of a maiden speech. I’m looking forward to reading your work!
