Today we started to get into the work for the course by summarising and analysing two texts.
The first text came from the official Olympic 2012 site and it is about the legacy of the event. Click here to see a copy of the "legacy" text.
The second text was an article from The Guardian newspaper and it focussed on the language used in the promotion of the event. Click here to see a copy of that article.
In groups we attempted to come up with a summary of each of the text's main points. This was easier for the official Olympic 2012 text.
After discussing this and identifying the purpose of each text, we then broke up from the groups and started to answer some questions which required you to analyse the "legacy" text in more depth. I asked everyone to complete that for next week.
