This session was another attempt to improve the ability of students to create a sophisticated critical analysis. The resources that were used to test the critical skills of the class were linked to the current STAND UP TO CANCER campaign. Click on link below for first resource:

The question students were asked to consider was:
HOW ARE MEDIA FORMS USED TO SHAPE MEANING?

This second resource is a very powerful advertisement involving Davina McCall. The class were asked to consider two questions:
HOW ARE MEDIA FORMS USED TO SHAPE MEANING?
HOW IS CANCER REPRESENTED IN THIS ADVERT?
HOMEWORK: Complete the three questions for homework. I expect students to be using appropriate MEDIA LANGUAGE and offering a precise critical argument. I expect students to read my 'marking' and follow my guidance. I expect students to be referring to:
ENIGMA CODES...ACTION CODES...DISEQUILIBRIUM...NEW EQUILIBRIUM...POLYSEMIC....TEXT ANCHORS MEANING....DENOTATION....CONNOTATION... ETC
I will be using your grade for this work in the first round of assessment statistics.
I am very pleased with the level of progress being made by 95% of this class. Your attitude is wonderful and learning is clearly taking place. KEEP IT UP.
Good Luck with the homework.
