Deadline for Foundation Portfolio is Wednesday 31st March

The deadline for your foundation portfolio is looming. You must have finished the front cover, contents page and double page spread of your music magazine and upload the 3 images from photo shop onto your blogs by next Wednesday's deadline.

Please make sure that your blogs are all upto date - you MUST have uploaded the preliminary task - front cover and contents page of your school magazine - otherwise you lose 15 marks from your overall final mark.

Absentees - Natasha V and Julian - I am very concerned as I haven't seen you for almost 2 weeks now - that's around 8 of practical media lessons you have missed. I have not seen any evidence of your coursework so far! The deadline for this is next Wednesday! Let me know how you're getting on.
