You will need to express your ideas fluently using subject terminology. To help you use the following three sections.

3. What verbal or written feed back have you had from you adverts and the awards evening? Do you believe that your final contribution towards the adverts and awards evening would be acceptable in a professional work place? Explain why with your own examples. (Min 100 words)

1 Research

For this task I want you to research into different events that are happening locally, nationally and internationally. Look for and note the following

The look and concept of the advertising?
Who the audience is?
what details are given?
What type of event it is i.e. 1 day etc

Create links to the sites that you have looked at. Remember to get into the habit of adding posts about what you do in each lesson. your first post could be analysing some of the event advertising and answering the points above.
