2. Access the RCSLT Curriculum Guidance (2021)
Familiarise yourself with the content and knowledge base for phonetics and its clinical applications in the Table on page 61. 

Reflect on your upcoming placement. What do you already know about phonetics that you will be able to apply?  Post one idea together with a note of the client-group you will be working with.

3. Consider the following three words:  tart / dart / cart.  How might your current knowledge about phonetics allow you to compare and contrast different (possibly atypical) productions of these words? 
To answer this question, you could start by thinking about the ways in which you have learnt to represent speech using different kinds of phonetic transcription.  Next, you could revisit some of the topics that have been covered in phonetics so far this year.  Consider the words spoken in isolation and in sentences.  Post one or two brief ideas.
