Once you have chosen the two photographs, you have to compare, contrast, comment, criticise them, or draw any parallels with your daily life, personality, beliefs, country of origin, or opinions.

6.

You will be evaluated on the appropriateness of your choice in light of the accompanying written work, the accuracy of the language you use, the richness of your vocabulary, and the clarity of your ideas. It goes without saying that the previous criteria will vary depending on your school year.

7.

Your work must be original. If you use of any external sources, such as Wikipedia, film analyses, specialised webpages, books, or magazines, remember to quote your source, especially in those cases where you are using someone else’s words or ideas.

8.

This compulsory task is to be done individually. Group work will only be required in later activities. Therefore, it is one task per student. Again, no exceptions.

9.

When you finish, print your answer sheet and give it to your English teacher. Deadline: Friday, 6th March 2015.
