Hi all,
Well, it's our Valentines Day come-down lesson today, and I thought we'd celebrate with an absolutely unromantic look at the exam papers for Med 2, before answering a practice question in the second half of the lesson. If you get a chance, have a look back on the blog at how to use the 3 Step Plan, and also how to write really good analytical paragraphs.
See you then!

Lesson: Friday 8th Feb
Hi all,
My apologies- I won't be in the lesson on Fri morning, as I am out all day on a course. However, Mrs Harte is expecting you to be there, and complete the following work. I'd like you to:
My apologies- I won't be in the lesson on Fri morning, as I am out all day on a course. However, Mrs Harte is expecting you to be there, and complete the following work. I'd like you to:
Watch an episode of Spooks and complete a thorough analysis, making notes on the following:
Media Language
Narrative
Representations
Values and Ideology
Audience
I want to see your notes next week, and you can choose the form in which to present them, such as a mind map, booklet etc.
Homework is to complete this task to a really high standard.
Well done all on the good quality presentations from this week, and have a good weekend.
Mr Boulter
ps: Don't forget, your Med 1 Mock is on next Friday periods 1 and 2. I suggest you prepare for this by looking back at the work we did earlier in the course (particularly around J17), and looking over the targets you were set. Have a look back at the posts on the blog from around this time to refresh your memory of what we covered.

Lesson reflection
Hi all,
Just to say well done to those who presented on Friday, and to remind the other two groups that we are using Weds p5 to finish this off- come prepared! I think we definitely saw the benefit of imposing a clearer structure, so keep this in mind for future presentations (in all subjects really).
A couple of points became clear for development:
1) We need to include more detail in our analysis. Using the principle of saying 'a lot about a little', we need to be able to write or say several points following the identification of a technique or feature, so future lessons will consider how we can work on this crucial area.
2) We need to think more about representation and Values and Ideologies, and develop our analysis of these areas in particular.
Otherwise, well done on a productive lesson- I'll discuss homework with you on Weds, so no need to do anything for me until then, other than read Media Guardian (see link) and come to the lesson aware of 3 recent stories from the site.
Bye,
Mr Boulter
ps: we are very keen for you to leave comments and ask questions, but try to keep them relevant to the subject and make sure you identify yourself. Thanks.
