Newspapers update

The Newspapers assessment will now be in the second week back after half-term.

Mr Bush's class are a lesson behind so in the interests of fairness all Year 13s will do the assessment a week later than originally advertised. This gives you a bit of extra time to complete the case studies and revise everything from the Newspapers unit.

Newspapers: resources and top tips

Big thanks to Shivam for this link... you can buy an electronic copy of the selected CSP for the Daily Mail from 21 September. This gives you the whole newspaper which means you can study additional articles, advertisers and more. Follow this link to the Pressreader website and you can buy it for £1.99. 

If you're not able to buy your own copy, you can find a PDF copy of the selected Daily Mail pages here.

Unfortunately, the i doesn't appear to be available any more but you can find a scanned document with the selected pages from the 21 September edition here.

Indexes and case studies

We've set a lot of work for the Newspapers unit as it is in effect four CSPs rather than two when you consider the websites. Make sure you've completed and posted your TWO indexes for this unit - the main Newspapers blog tasks and the weekly stories, one from MailOnline and one from inews.co.uk.

Reminder: your Newspapers assessment will now be Monday 5 November.
