Students were introduced to the idea of genre, intertextuality, and postmodernism.The lesson considered the Audience/Producer debate and students were informed that this topic will be explored in detail over the next couple of lessons.

Students considered the issue of teenage representation and notes were gathered to help students create a sophisticated written response. Reference was made to the films Blackboard Jungle,Rebel without a Cause, If, Quadrophenia and Juno and students were encouraged to watch all these films and consider issues of teenage representation. Students watched a documentary constructed by last year's Year 13 relating to teenage representation.Click on link below to access this documentary:

The lesson died at 3.32 with the human landscape attempting to balance pens on the front of their teenage faces. ZQ was particularly expert at balancing her pen between nose and top lip.

Homework: Create a written response to the MEST3 question:

'Compare and contrast the two texts [Juno and Skins], with particular reference to the representation of teenagers'.
