Thanks for all coming to the first lesson. I hope that it is just the beginning of your journey into the study of Media and your developing awareness of the importance of Media understanding to modern life.
Today we scratched the surface of the subject and introduced you to the main demands of the course. If you want to know more please feel free to check out the AQA website. Follow the link and have a surf around. Look at the specification in particular MEST 1 and MEST 2 which are the units you will be studying this year.
I also recommend you consider the following questions and do some of your own research around the subject before Tuesday.
Who broadcasts The Simpsons in the US and in the UK?
What do you know about the organisations or institutions who broadcast The Simpsons in terms of ideology?
What is the dominant ideology of The Simpsons?
Please write your answers as notes or in continuous prose as you wish.
BLOGGING
For Homestudy this weekend I also asked you to keep a media log of what you consume, when and for how long: use of different platforms, time spent on leisure, time spent on study etc. Try to itemise.
Enjoy and see you Tuesday.
