The aim of this session was to explore media theory. Inmates were placed in groups to discuss the statement: VIOLENT MEDIA CREATES VIOLENT PEOPLE. Students were encouraged to illustrate their knowledge of media theory through this task. CLASS RESPONSE WAS OUTSTANDING. You lot nailed this task. Students application of media theory was intelligent, credible, informed and relevant. DO NOT FEAR MEDIA THEORY. You lot proved today that you understand the complexity of theory and can apply many theories in an appropriate manner.
VERY WELL DONE.
Homework: Complete the research task. Students will be expected to speak to our media community on Tuesday and explain why their research topic is of interest to a media student.
