OSP & Weekly news story indexes

We are now at the end of our Online, Social and Participatory media unit and need to create TWO indexes to ensure we are keeping up with the workload. 

You'll have a January assessment on this topic and the weekly stories you've been collecting for Teen Vogue and The Voice will provide excellent examples and evidence for your exam essays. 

News story index - Teen Vogue and The Voice
In today's lesson you need to create an index of all of your news stories so far from the Teen Vogue and the Voice websites. We didn't start this until we were two weeks into the half-term so you need FIVE stories from each CSP. 

It is this selection of stories that will give you concrete examples to support your exam answers and essays (in addition to our close-textual analysis of each CSP). 


Remember, every story you post needs to be on a separate blogpost and the link in the index should go to YOUR blog post on that story, not the original article itself.



Online, Social and Participatory index

You also need to create an index for ALL of your work for Online, Social and Participatory media this half-term. 

This process is an excellent start to your revision for the Media Two exam in the summer as well as your upcoming January assessment. It will also highlight if you've missed anything through absence or trips and allow you to catch up if you have fallen behind this half-term. 

Your index should include the following:

1) OSP: Clay Shirky - End of Audience blog tasks
2) OSP: Teen Vogue - background and textual analysis
3) OSP: Teen Vogue - audience and representation
4) Newspapers: Assessment learner response
5) OSP: Teen Vogue - industry and social media
6) OSP: Hall and Gilroy - media theory
7) OSP: The Voice - blog case study

For your index, the text should link to YOUR corresponding blogpost so you can access your work on each aspect of the case study quickly and easily. This also means you if you have missed anything you can catch up with the work and notes and won't underperform in assessments or exams due to gaps in your knowledge.


Online, Social and Participatory media: assessment revision

You will have an assessment on this unit in the first week back in January. Revise everything in the indexes above in order to prepare for this.  

Index due date: anything you don't complete in the lesson needs to be posted by the first lesson back in January.
