1. Comment Notification
Set up: 'Comment Notification Email' on both your blogs. Go to 'Settings'-'Comments'-'Comment Notification Email' (at the bottom of the page) and enter the email address you check most regularly. This way you will receive an email (with the comments) every time someone comments on your blog - important when teachers/students provide you with feedback.


2. Read/Highlight Exemplar Essay
Read: Bianca's essay... What are the different representations of women in adverts and how are they signified? and paste onto your blog, along with the embedded videos.
Highlight: (in a different colour, on your blog) the media keywords she uses in her essay.


3. Peer Assess Essay
Read: Someone else's advertising essay (apart from Parminder's, Ahmed's or Yusra's as these were the other best ones).
Comment: on their answer, providing www/ebi feedback. Consider: spelling/punctuation/paragraphing, use/highlighting of media terminology, quality/development of argument, etc.


4. Understanding Post-Feminism
Read: FAQ: What is “Post-feminism”?
Rank: the FOUR 'Clarifying Concepts' - paste them onto your blog in your order with an explanation.

5. Post-Feminism Reading/Reserach
Read: POST-FEMINISM AND POPULAR CULTURE and post the link to the paper on your blog.
Identify: FIVE media texts referenced (by name or genre) in the paper. For each one find a relevant clip or online print version and post up on your blog including TWO or THREE key quotes from the paper that outline its significance in the debate.

6. Mulvey Reading/Essay
Read: the Laura Mulvey article highlighting and annotating key points.
Find: a clip/ sequence from a recent film or TV programme which you feel demonstrates Laura Mulvey’s Theory. Write: a detailed analysis (750 words min.) using media language and relevant key concepts of how the ‘male gaze’ has been constructed in the text. Include in the analysis stills from the clip to highlight your points.
