The aim of today's session was to improve the ability of students to produce a precise and detailed critical written argument that avoids general and superficial commentary. Students were shown the Samsung advert and different groups were asked to respond to different questions. The questions asked students to consider the representation of technology, how media forms are used to shape meaning, and the brand values being presented by Samsung. The written work was excellent. Well done. We need to maintain that level of detailed commentary.

The second section of the lesson considered how media theory could be applied to a CALL OF DUTY trailer. Click on link below:

Again class discussion was good. Well done.
HOMEWORK: Each student must take a photograph of Beverley that captures YOUR own personal REPRESENTATION of YOUR home town. This photograph needs to be sent to me via email so I can place ALL the images on the blog before the start of the next session on Tuesday. DO NOT SEND ME ANY IMAGES ON TUESDAY. MONDAY IS THE DEADLINE.
Students will be asked to explain how their image represents Beverley. Students will be asked to explain frame composition, connotation etc. This is your first creative homework. I am looking forward to the results. DO NOT BRING AN IMAGE TO THE LESSON. ALL STUDENTS ARE EXPECTED TO EMAIL THEIR WORK. The representation is a personal representation.
The photograph at the top of the blog is one of my photographs that I would use to represent my view of my home city. I will explain its significance on Tuesday and I will expect ALL students to explain the significance of their own visual representations.
