Annual Media Debate

For 13C & 13D students...

In yesterday's lesson, some 13C students started claiming that their class was better than 13D. (A bit sad, it's true). It was pointed out that 13D students also got excellent results for AS last year and many of the Media Awards prizes went to the other class too. Yet still they were insistent about their own superiority. (Misplaced arrogance?)

There's only one way to find out, isn't there? (And we don't mean by Charanpal and Imroz having a fight after school.)

We've decided to have a Media Debate which we hope to turn into an annual event (a bit like the Media Awards Evening). The plan is for each side to field three teams of three students each and for there to be three separate debates about three different media topics on the day. The rest of the group members will be involved in researching beforehand and asking questions during the debate.

We have a provisional date for it to take place - Wednesday 14th December, after school in the Sixth Form Block. The audience will include all Year 12 Media Studies students and various
members of staff so the pressure is on! Ms Twebti is one of the main organisers and will be available to offer debating advice to the team members. We will start preparing you for the event next week. You need to think about who your team members will be - and you need to elect a captain.

Check out the Macguffin Forum to start debating now!!
