Today we looked at MS4 and how it will be a synoptic assessment. A short game was played with the iconography of western films, followed by a brief lecture on the history of the genre. Narrative codes and conventions were identified and explored further and we finished off with a game of 'iconography bingo' with the trailer for Young Guns (a great western- if you haven't seen it, turn off your computer and watch it now), which Jamie Soady deservedly won.
Somehow we veered off onto what life would be like if we were imprisoned, and Jake was quite clear about how he would punish any amorous advances. I suggested he might not know how he felt until the said event occured. Jake's reply was that he, "tried it with a carrot once, and it wasn't for me."
When I've figured out how to do it, I'll attach my pack of resources on Westerns, but otherwise I'll put it on the gateway.
Final thought- is there a more annoying student than Chris Meaden? (it's rhetorical, I know the answer)
