Notes and progress 17th March

Here are the notes I took from today's lessons. Personally, I felt today's lessons were very beneficial as they helped us link our articles once again to the exam.

One of the most helpful and beneficial things today other than the video we were shown (explained below) is that we had to swap our most recent draft of our articles with someone else in the class, who will give feedback tonight and give us it back tomorrow. This way we know what we can improve by our articles and what we can add to make them better.

What was most helpful though was a video we were shown in class from Youtube, called 'media in everyday life' by David Gauntlett. It helped us analyse the 6 concepts of the media A2 exam question 2 against the video and make arguments towards the exam questions, which is what these pictures of my notes below show.

I worked with Mike today as a pair and we were able to pick out ideas for the 6 elements of the exam from the video, this also really helped us grasp the exam better and this will be beneficial in our articles I think.

I think overall, this background research really helped us with our articles and should help us relate them more to the exam. I think today was very helpful and we should hopefully be continuing to develop our articles to make them better both for ourselves and for media students reading the newspaper.
