As we have OPEN EVENING next week there will be no Media STudies class at 3.20pm. Instead I am looking for 6 volunteers to help during the evening in the Media STudies room. You will be working with helping to explain what Media Studies is and why it is relevant.
There will be tangible rewards for those involved.
Please come and see me asap for a permission letter.

GCSE SPECIFICATION
AQA Media Studies Specification
The specification is a document meant for teachers but can still be useful for you to look at.
The first area you might like to read is about Assignment 1 on page 9, 10 and 11.
Assignment Bank 1 includes a range of Media platforms for study BUT we will focus on just one, PRINT and we will be looking in detail at Magazine covers.
Tomorrows' lesson will begin this process as we look at the specifics of image description or denotation and learning the appropriate media terminology.
See you all then.

E-LEARNING TASK WEEK 1
Your first task comes in two parts.
One relates to your BLOG, the other more directly to Media Studies.
TASK 1
Complete designing your blog and make it your own using the designer template and add another GADGET below the BLOG LIST - LINK LIST.
In Link list I would like you to put links to any MEDIA RELATED sites which you think might be useful to your study of the Media over the next two years. WEBSITES COULD INCLUDE: magazines TV channels, academic, media industry, marketing, advertising etc. etc. At this stage I only want you to add 5 links, so choose wisely.
Also, I would like you to review the setting including the privacy settings to ensure that you and your parents understand them. At this stage I DO NOT want you to change the settings and restrict them. In good time we will define these settings in such a way that ONLY myself and students in the class can access your BLOGS.
TASK 2
Find 4 contrasting images and add them into your first post. Choose these images really carefully and describe the image in some detail underneath. In addition, I would like you to explain why you chose the image and how it makes you feel.
I am looking to see how you write, your powers of observation and your ability to explain emotional or intellectual responses to visual stimuli.
THESE TASK NEED TO BE COMPLETED BY WEDNESDAY LUNCHTIME 12.50pm.

BLOGS - IMPORTANT
Well done all of you for creating your own blogs, I have managed to list nearly all of you on my blog list which will allow you all to connect to each other.
However, there were four of you whose blog addresses weren't accurate on the list I had, so I will need them to emailed to my school email asap.
The missing students are:
Ishram
Aaishah
Ravina
Hanaa
