YEAR13 LESSON SEVENTEEN [20th Jan 12]: Homework.



Students were asked to consider the question: WHAT ARE THE MEDIA ISSUES AND DEBATES THAT LINK TO THE ANTI-SOPA DEMONSTRATION?
Class discussion explored the possible content for a written response to the SOPA question.

The second session considered Section A of MEST 3 and considered the questions:
1. Evaluate how each media product represents the family?
2. Using reference to media theory, how might an audience respond to these two media texts. You may refer to other media texts to illustrate your answer.
3. Should media be regulated?

The two texts used were the John Lewis 2011 Xmas advert and the Cancer Research advert from the summer of 2011. Links to these texts are available here:

The class produced a written response to the first question.
