Holiday Work
Hi all, and really well done for the progress you've made this term.
Over the holiday, I want you to take the opportunity to do some research and reading into the We-Media and Democracy unit. The point of this is to:
- expand our knowledge and engagement with the topic
- increase the quantity of facts and knowledge that we can bring to our exam answers (remember that you are assessed on your use of EXAMPLES in the exam, so need lots of stuff to call upon - stats, facts, quotations etc)
You should do this by doing lots of reading using websites such as these:
Luke! Can you find that website you mentioned and add it as a comment please!

Homework - in for Next Weds - 11th Jan Period 1
Hi all,
Well after a period focused on coursework, we are back to some more exam-focused learning over the next few weeks, particularly looking at Section A of the exam.
For your homework this weekend, you need to watch one or two of the videos on this playlist:
http://www.youtube.com/cherwellmedia#p/c/DFA24E73F32AF5F2/1/3exzMPT4nGI
Choose the documentary-style ones, rather than the extracts. I'd then like you to be ready to take brief notes on Word and be ready to summarise the content of the video in the lesson - basically this means watching one of the videos and being ready to tell the rest of us what it was about.
Have a great weekend,
Mr Boulter

Cherwell YouTube Channel
Hello you lot,
Right, it's finally here - we now have a Cherwell Media YT channel available on www.youtube.com/cherwellmedia . In the first instance, I hope it'll be useful for you to use the 'A2 Useful blogs' playlist to get some practical ideas for excellence in research and planning, but the other playlists should be useful too.
ENJOY!

Work Thurs
Hi all,
Sorry I can't be there on Thurs, but your task is really clear and independent. You need to work on the Research and Planning stages of your blog, by following these steps:
1) Have a good look at the early posts of the blogs from http://a2musicvid.blogspot.com/
2) Make a list of 5 posts that they make which you could make on your own
3) Make those posts!
I don't think you really need any more guidance than that, other than to point out the need for creativity, detail, and looking at research through the key media concepts, eg representations, narrative, media language etc.
Have fun and have a great week off! I've been impressed with the progress you've made recently - next term we are going to go ALL OUT for coursework and make sure we nail it!
