The session began with a consideration of media language and how media forms could be used to analyse the texts above. The class then attempted to provide a response to the 'Peter Andre' exam text.
An attempt was made to discuss the cross-media study question that students should have prepared for homework but it became apparent that not many individuals had bothered to think about this homework. So we stopped. And the course was complete.
I MAY POST A CROSS-MEDIA PODCAST BEFORE THE EXAM SO KEEP CHECKING THE BLOG. STUDENTS NEED TO CONTINUE TO DEVELOP THEIR UNDERSTANDING OF THE CROSS-MEDIA STUDY. USE PAST QUESTIONS TO INFORM THE FOCUS OF YOUR REVISION.
Here is a podcast from last year that I created to help the class understand the requirements for MEST1 Section A. This should be useful. Ignore my comments about bullet points when answering the cross-media study question because the bullet points have been removed from the exam paper:

Here is the old cross-media study podcast. Obviously we are using different texts but some of this will be useful. We are still using THE SECRET MILLIONAIRE but the website has changed a great deal and there is some valuable contextual information here. LEND IT YOUR EARS:
