Summer Tasks
1] Media
Studies Holiday Challenge : THEORY
2] Research: Media forms. Type into
google What are media forms? You will find definitions, other students work and
some really useful websites like: http://www.mediaknowall.com/gcse/keyconceptsgcse/medforms/medforms.php
Avoid Wikipedia! Present your
findings in a blog post. Blog title Research: Media Forms
Support your findings with screen
captures.
3] Research: the history of the
Media Industry : magazines. [This is your post title.]
Create a ppt and upload it to
slideshare. Then embed the ppt onto your blog by pasting the embed code into
the blog page- you have to click html on the blog page in order to embed a
code.
- Select magazine Media institution. Remember- Institutions are big companies that work in the same industry – in this case they produce or distribute magazines.
- Look at the history of the company – when did they start? How? Who owns the company? What were their first magazine products? Add screen captures. How have they grown over the years?
- Have a look at either Bauer, Guardian Group, , IPC,
Key Tips about using ppt:
Use
plenty of slides and add logos/ images etc to make each slide look interesting.
More slides with less text is preferable
Do not use any other Media students
work.
Have
a good style and size of font so it is easy to read.
This is our old blog. http://valemediastudies.blogspot.co.uk/
You will see, as you scroll down the homepage, where homework
is posted.
If you click on the links on the right hand side, then you
will be able to look at other students blogs and it will give you an idea of
what your blog should look like. I suggest you go back to the September posts –
this is where you will see past students research. However, remember they were
on the old course. Your course is new and your work will be different.
This is our new blog!
