2. Detailed information about the group/ place you are studying (dominant and alternative representations across a range of media - must be cross platform with examples in your powerpoint e.g.scanned magazine images, news stories,clips from films/ TV programmes, links to websites etc.)
3. An outline of how theory we have discussed so far could be applied (feminism/post-feminism, representation of the other, colonialism/post-colonialism, marxism/pluralism)

13C1/D1 Cover Work, P1/5 Fri 06.11

Stay in DF07 for the whole of the lesson (either period 1/5). Work quietly and sensibly on the computers. If you finish early, spend the rest of the time researching your topic online. Ms Holliday will be monitoring you...please sign in on a piece of paper and leave on my desk.

This work has to be completed for homework by everyone by the next lesson (Mon 9th/Thur 12th).

Produce a Powerpoint Presentation based on your half term homework, remembering the key ingredients of what makes an effective presentation (significance, structure, simplicity, rehearsal). Include images, think carefully about the design, and make sure you rehearse it when you've completed it.

It must cover the following...

• Critical Investigation title/explanation
• Linked Production title/explanation
• MIGRAIN
• SHEP
• Issues/Debates
• Media Theories/Theorists
• How your research topic fits into the contemporary media landscape

Yr 13 Nightmare on Elm Street

For the group that you focused on when watching the film (either teens or women) create a visual analysis of their representation and link it to key quotes about feminism/ subordination using in particular the handouts provided. You will be 'teaching' the other half of the class about how your group is represented usign all aspects of MIGRAIN, theory and wider context.

If this is not completed to a satisfactory standard you will have to stay behind and re-do the work in your own time.
