Here's a checklist of the Tasks set so far for your Med 5 coursework, all three need to be fully complete by the start of next week (01-10-07)...
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 check all the other Year 13 Med 5 blogs from this year (13c1, 13c2, 13d1) in the sidebar and identify the five studies that share most in common with your own. Then you should comment on each one of these on their most recent posting. Offer three positive points (www) and one suggested improvement or idea for further research (ebi). Links to these comments need to be posted up on your blogs too with the names of who you're commenting on.
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 more 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. A lot of you have done a fair amount of this already...do some more! But always make sure you summarise the extract and comment on its significance or aspects of its media language.
The best place is, obviously YouTube, but there are plenty of other sites too. Start searching at Macguffin's del.ici.ous video bookmarks.
