Today students were given their MS3 Investigation and Production proposal forms. They must fill these in and prepare a presentation for Thursday's lesson with Mr Bourne. The presentation must answer the following questions: which key concept(s) am I going to focus on and why (genre, narrative and/or representation) and why, how am I going to research it and why, how my research will inform my production, what production I am considering doing and why. Students a free reign as to how this is presented: powerpoints, moviemakers and podcasts are preferred but anything goes as long as those questions are clearly answered.
We also looked at the Big Issue magazine and how that differs from other magazines in style, distribution and content, as well as briefly representation of homeless people in both the magazine and the wider media (e.g. a recent episode of the Inbetweeners). Some interesting, albeit rather sweeping, comments about homeless people were made. One student, who shall remain nameless, ventured that 'all homeless people wee in their shoes'.
Some controversial comments regarding women, homeless people and immigrants were made by Elliot- who is an unlikely candidate for the BNP, considering he's a Christian.
It's a bit like saying all gingers made sweeping comments. And all teachers are geeks.
