Students examined the BBC Look North representation of the Beverley student demonstration on Thursday 9th December. This presentation was compared with the representation offered by an article published in the online version of The Hull Daily Mail.
The quality of the discussion was excellent. The contribution of HMc, MB, NR, KH, and the WKD man was particularly impressive.Many thanks.
Homework: Students must consider the following questions....
1. How are the students of the Joint Sixth represented in this edition of Look North?
2. Is there evidence of institutional bias within this news report?
3. Who is the target audience?
4. How are media forms used to suggest the difference/similarities between the London/Beverley student demonstrations?
5. How does the online edition of The Hull Daily Mail represent the students of the Joint Sixth Form?
6. How does the HDM/Look North coverage illustrate how digital media has changed the relationship between audience and producer?
We will discuss these questions in the next lesson and I will expect a written response after the next lesson. Our next lesson is in January so your homework for the Winter break is to consider how you will answer the questions so that we can share ideas before constructing a convincing written response.You are not expected to produce a written response over Xmas...just prepare for the written response. This is a MASSIVE piece of work so preparation is crucial.

Students might want to visit HU17.net to peruse the photographs they have published to represent the demonstration. Some of the images offer a very different representation to the representation offered by BBC Look North. I have used four of the images at the beginning of this post. Here is a link to the HU17.net article:

HAVE A BELTING BREAK. SEE YOU IN JANUARY. MANY THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HARD WORK THIS TERM.
I feel my efforts in pointing out the board rubber should neither unappreciated nor unrecognised. I've also realised that I am the only one to bother to comment on these things, most likely because other people have 'stuff' to do... Merry Christmas Rico!
ReplyDeleteI feel my generous thanks to you when pointing me in the direction of the board rubber were sincere and appropriate...bon noel ph.enjoy the festivities and don't get arrested.
