YEAR 13 - Assessment Week - Tasks

Hi all

This week is your first assessment week. My expectations are:

1: That your blogs are up to date and show a weekly digest of work and progress made (since the start of term) - You can work backwards and reflect on what you have covered in Media each week (in both classes)

2: That you have been using Twitter/Blog regularly and effectively.  (Make sure you have followed all Media students on both the blogs and on Twitter)

3: That you have met the following deadline for your MEST 4:


BLOG Submission TITLE = Contemporary TEXTUAL ANALYSIS (+ relevant Historical textual analysis)  

Show evidence on your blog that you have done this. (You should take print screens / pictures of your work and upload them as images into the blog post) 

DEADLINE = 19th October   
Do a DETAILED thorough (wide date ranging) textual MIGRAIN analysis of the text(s)

* Ensure that you address ALL platforms in your analysis of the text.

*Gather lots of visual material both hard copy and online.

* Track  hourly work log/keep a blog journal of reflections as you proceed.
