Independent Study TASK EIGHT

For 13C students...

The following comprises TASK EIGHT and is required by 06-12-05...

• Take time to skim read through the AS/A-Level Media Studies Essential Word Dictionary by David Probert (2005) Debbingdon: Philip Allan Updates. Then choose TEN key terms that are especially relevant for your Independent Study. For each one, post up a brief definition on your blog - in your own words, if possible - and then give details about how it can be linked to the work that you are doing.

• Add another FIVE texts to your (book) bibliography on your blog (or create another posting) that you will consult and quote from in your Independent Study, taking you up to a total of THIRTEEN. This will require another visit to the school library where you should ensure that you photocopy some of the relevant pages and highlight the essential details you expect to include. Alternatively, you could be sneaky if you are working on the representation of women and simply refer to David Gauntlett's (2002) Media, Gender and Identity (London: Routledge). Choose the relevant texts/researchers/theorists from the handouts that you've been given and then use the bibliography from his book (that you've also been given) to find the publisher details etc.
  

Make sure you include all the correct information (author, date, place, publisher) in the conventional way as this will be necessary in your essay. (See TASK SIX for how to do this.)
