Gender Representation

Dear AS Students,

Sorry for Friday; I completely forgot to add your work to this blog. I know; awful of me!

Anyway, today's lesson was on Gender representation. I wanted to direct you to some further reading below:

There are lots of theories embedded which may stick with you, aside from the two we have covered in class. It's definitely worth a read although the focus is on women.

AS Evaluations

You are on the home stretch! Well done!! I am very proud of you all for working so hard this year! Don't let this final bit go down hill as marks can easily be lost!

Just to add here a blog from Pete Fraser who co-wrote the OCR specification for Media Studies. He guides you through some of the options for your evaluations; heed his advise!! He is the one who trains moderators on what to look for and definitely knows his stuff so don't underestimate his advise!
