Here's a checklist of the Tasks set so far for your Med 5 coursework...
TASK ONE
Summer Research Project
Most of you have done a really good job here and there have been some excellent Powerpoint presentations. However, there are still a number of aspects of the Task that need more work. In particular, the answers to the Key Concepts questions are often too brief so these need to be expanded upon if that's the case with you. (There should be a separate, detailed posting for each Key Concept). The same goes for Theory and Wider Contexts.
Also, make sure that you upload any research that you included in your presentations that isn't yet on your blogs - including images, summaries etc. If it was substantially different to what's on your blog then you should post up the whole presentation.
TASK TWO
Comments x5
You should have checked all the other Year 13 Med 5 blogs in the sidebar and identified the five studies that share most in common with your own. Then you should have commented on each one of these offering three positive points and one suggested improvement or idea for further research. Links to these comments needed to be posted up on your blogs too.
The aim here is to create a collaborative learning community where you will all support each other in addition to the help you receive from your teachers. And through helping others to think you will clarify your own ideas and understand the specifics of your own study better. Everyone's a winner!
TASK THREE
Video Clip
Find trailers and excerpts from your text (or related texts) that are available online and post up the links or embed a video player window in your blog.
The best place is, obviously YouTube, but there are plenty of other sites too. Start searching at Macguffin's del.ici.ous video bookmarks.
TASK FOUR
Keywords x10
Using the Media Studies Essential Word Dictionary that 13C have received (and 13D will get this week) you need, in the first instance, to identify TEN keywords, ideas, theories or theorists that are relevant for your study. For each one, provide a definition of the term and then explain how it is useful or can be linked to your study.
TASK FIVE
del.ici.ous Links x10
It is noticeable that too many of you haven't been using the list of Med5 links that Macguffin has put together for you that are really useful for your research. There are over 100 carefully selected sites that will lead you to the right kind of infornmation you need for a top grade.
Over the next term you need to have explored all of them but for the time being you need to select TEN that are directly relevant. Navigate your way to specific links within the site (don't just stay put at the homepage) and copy these to your blog. Under each one explain what it is and how you will use it in your essay.
ALSO...
In addition to this you should be progressing with your own self-directed research. Don't just wait to be told what to do - seek out useful information etc. and keep posting to your blog. Some people are doing this really well already...well done!
