Paper 2 Question 1 (a) and (b)

 (A)

Hello New Comers!

Great advice from your peers

Keep your GPA up

If you are joining us as freshmen, keeping an eye on your GPA is very important. Especially in your beginning years. Do not lose track of time and then all of a sudden start noticing the importance of your GPA once you are a junior. 

Starting from a floppy GPA and trying to work up from there is much more difficult than it is to be self-aware about your academic stance and GPA right from the beginning. 

Do not be afraid 

Freshmen; upperclassmen are not intimidating, they are here for you to ask questions and guide you through your high school experience. By the end of your senior year you will be just like them; gliding through the wind like a bird with all of the success and wise knowledge of the school weighing upon your wide and strong wings. 

Some things you need to be a part of

Things you need to be apart of

The ‘AICE’ Program 

At ‘Marco Island Academy’ we provide a great program. If you succeed in meeting the requirements from your time here it rewards you with a great scholarship and the money that comes with it. This money goes towards your in-state tuition at the university of your choice. It is called the ‘AICE’ program in which you receive your ‘AICE’ diploma by passing 7 credits of 'AICE' classes. This ‘The Florida Bright Futures Scholarship Program’ saves you and your family a lot of money in the long run!

This program is one that all students should participate in, and it is not too late for you sophomores and juniors who are joining us this coming year! Work hard and you will achieve it!

Clubs 

It is YOUR time to shine and represent your school spirit! At ‘Marco Island Academy’ we offer an extensive amount of clubs and they are cool and popular to be a part of. 

One hundred hours of Community service hours are required to graduate, and almost all of our clubs give you the opportunities to volunteer and gain a good amount of hours. Joining as soon as possible will be one of the smartest things to do!

(B)

To succeed at the prompt of making a leaflet for the new coming students of the school that I am currently attending I made sure to add a header and subtitles throughout the leaflet. By doing this, it makes it easy for the audience to know what they are reading about and it entails them to be drawn to the topics they are interested in. Additionally, in regards to the structure, I made sure that the paragraphs were short and broken up, enabling the audience to not get bored and retrieve the most important information that I am representing. 

By addressing the reader I used words like ‘cool’, ‘popular’, and ‘floppy.’ The audience that I am addressing are students, those who are teenagers. Providing appealing words that are specific to that age category is beneficial in keeping them engaged. A teenager coming to a new school would not want to read a leaflet that is boring and consists of words they don't understand. 

In regards to the reason behind my smile for succeeding, “..... gliding through the wind like a bird…”, this represents the topic that I had previously spoken about and is relevant to the header. Creating an interesting simile about how much growth will be provided within them taking in the advice that I had presented brings the audience to want to abide by it. 

Additionally, personalizing the audience gives them a sense of importance and relevance. When writing this type of leaflet it was important for me to speak in the second person by stating pronouns like: ‘you’ and ‘your.’ One of my specific usage of these pronouns is when I said ‘It is YOUR time’ this highlights the uniqueness and importance of the audience, inviting them to feel and think that they are being spoken to specifically.
