Wednesday P3&4
Please complete the tasks on the presentation above.
You are not allowed to use pens BUT you can use iMacs so as well as discussion about the ideas and theories please can you ensure that you complete the tasks as blog posts on your own blogs.
To create a collage, I suggest that you find images using google and past onto a word or pages document - don't choose teenagers.
Save this and then upload to SCRIBD
Once on SCRIBD you can embed it in your blog by using copying the embed code and pasting it into a blog post (you must use the HTML tab on your post to do this).
If you don't have a SCRIBD account yet, follow the link below and create on BUT remember to write down your login and password details.
If you cannot do this - for whatever reason you can save the images to the desktop and upload them to a regular blog post.
Which ever way you choose you MUST write about the choices you made - connotations of each image.
HW - create a further collage on Teenagers

Lesson 4 - Key Concepts
Some excellent work in class by many of you today. Well done.
To help you with the HW you can try creating a document on word with a picture on it and you comment around and then using the following site to publish.
SCRIBD
You upload to SCRIBD then copy the embed code.
Go back to your post and using HTML, paste the embed code into your post and publish.
Hey presto! You document should appear in a post. Just like mine. If you convert it to PDF first it is even more stable and can be read on any machine.

Welcome
Welcome to the Media Studies blog for GCSE 2013-15.
Here you will find useful information about the course and you will also become familiar with using the blog as your first place to go for revision, reviewing of lessons and resources.
You as a media student will need to create your own blog too and this will appear under the students blog section on the right of the screen.
On your first lesson in September we will be creating these blogs and getting used to using them in class.
To get you started read the handbook and look at some of the resources on the assignment pages. More will come soon.
