When you have done this, add some more images to Padlet to discuss. Then choose one, and make some notes on your Blog discussing the key concepts and ideas such as stereotypes and text conventions.

Half Term Work

Hello

There is no escape!

Task One

Please find attached the whole of the June 2011 paper. You have done work on Questions 1 & 4. Now I want you to work on Question 2. June 2011


You MUST post your response to this question onto your blogs - in as much detail as possible.

Task Two

We will be continuing work on reading images. It would be useful to have  a bank of images to look at and discuss. Find an interesting image online that you think we could discuss. Really, any image is of value here! Provide a link to the Padlet Wall http://padlet.com/wall/commsimages

You can provide as many as you want. Just put on your name and provide a brief description of it with a short comment on why you think it is interesting and why you have included it.

Great stuff! Have fun!

Groups

• A recap of some key ideas about groups.

Group Identity and Communication

Subcultures

Codes

Try and link these ideas to your findings about sub-cultural groups!

• Post a comment on what different groups you belong to (not necessarily subcultural). How can you differentiate between them? How does your identity change? Think about your verbal communication / non-verbal communication / where the power lies  etc Why do you belong to these groups...refer to your notes.

• How would you repsond to this? What attitude is being expressed? What would you discuss? What identity and group theories could you refer to? Post a comment on your blog.

"Perhaps I'm getting too old to understand but it seems to me that most young people today go out of their way to look ridiculous. Perhaps they just don't like themselves. How else can you explain the tattoos and body piercings? Why else would they dress in the style of convicts, hardened criminals or extras from a horror film? As for music, the most popular types seem to celebrate negative or anti-social behaviour: violence, drug abuse, suicide, selfharm and anti-materialism. Is it all the fault of the older generation for bringing up youths who just reject society's values"

Subculture Research

Hello guys!

You will be writing an exam style response in your lesson on Friday. In order to prepare for this, you need to add to your knowledge. I would like you to do some reserach to find out about what subcultures are; the different types of subcultures; specific details about specific subcultures.

You need to post your research onto an online noticeboard. This means that you can share your findings with everyone else and, between you, you will build up an excellent resource bank!

Post your findings at Subculture Wall

In order to post, you need to double click on the sky. Write a title and a summary of the article in the box and create a link to it. This is quite straightforward to do but you need to have saved the article first.

Look for articles on the BBC website, The Guardian, The Independent etc!

Good Luck!
