YEAR 12: FEB/MARCH 2017...THE CLOCKS MOVE FORWARD AND SO DO WE...

Ok folks...for the last few weeks we have been working on COURSEWORK and creating a short film to promote the Joint Sixth to Y11. Now it is time to get back to the analytical side of the course. Our next session on TUESDAY will be back in the classroom. I will expect you all to complete the Y12 film for HOMEWORK. Here are some resources for you to digest before we return to the classroom.

The next few weeks are crucial as we complete coursework, improve our ability to access Section A of the exam, and improve our understanding of the Cross-Media Study.

Resources that capture some MEDIA issues that students should synthesise:
