As discussed in today's lesson, I'd like you to write a short analysis on your 13A Exam blog of the representation of race and ethnicity in the two texts we studied today: the 2012 London Olympics Opening Ceremony and the subsequent opinion piece on the Daily Mail website the following day. The links you need:
The Olympic Opening Ceremony on the BBC website - from 56.30 (music section based around the surburban-style house). If that doesn't work, try YouTube where the section you need is a little later (around an hour in).
The Daily Mail article you have a copy of but you may find this Guardian article on it useful.
I'm not looking for a 2000-word essay but I'd like to see a blogpost discussing the different representations and ideally linking some of the theory we looked at in Monday's lesson like Alvarado and Fanon.
Be prepared to share your thinking on Monday!
Have a great weekend,
Mr Halsey
