13A lesson 07/01/13

Welcome back - I hope you had a great Christmas and New Year and are now ready for the most important term in your education so far. Now is the time to put the work in and really maximise your success!

Today's lesson:

1) Type up your feedback from your exam essay on your MEST3 exam blog and complete the learner response in detail

2) Research alternative examples you could use in an essay on the representation of young people in London - the mark scheme specifically rewards "detailed evidence of independent study". These could be across a variety of platforms and can be positive or negative, stereotypical or surprising. Examples could include:

• The representation of young people in London-based publications such as Time Out or the Evening Standard
• The representation of white, middle-class young people in shows such as Outnumbered or the Inbetweeners (as a contrast to Kidulthood-style examples)
• The representation of particular young Londoners, such as SBTV founder Jamal Edwards (someone who would give you a new and digital-media angle)

3) Produce a detailed blogpost on your MEST3 exam blog containing your additional research - this will be vital revision material prior to the exam in June
