Hello!
Here is a list of tasks to do over Moderation Week.
Task 1
Spend some time over the week going through the terminology. Complete the table so that you show your understanding of the term through giving a definition and an example.
Terminology Grid
Task 2
Please post on your blog a detailed analysis of the Barbie image, posted on my previous blog post. This needs to be discussed the image in terms of a process approach and in terms of a semiotic approach. Also, consider the key concepts.....you know what they are!!
Task 3
Watch the following text and answer the questions below.
Nick Griffin Clip
How do you, as a Comms student, react to this text? What key concepts are relevant here? Write a detailed blog post analysing the video.
Some areas / starting points for your analysis:
What does the location of the clip suggest to you?
What is he wearing? What does this suggest about his identity?
What is the importance of cookery shows as a cultural practice? How has he exploited this?
What are his political views? How might they conflict with the content of this clip?
What does this clip say about the importance of food and group/personal identity?
Who are the audience for this clip? What message might Nick Griffin want them to receive?
Use these questions as the basis for your response, but feel free to explore other areas also.
This question has been designed with question four of the summer examination in mind. You need to discuss the cultural implications of this video, as well as perhaps some semiotic analysis such as key signifiers in the text, use of register, etc. Basically, you need to write in an academic communication and culture register and use the relevant terminology correctly.
Finally, Task 4
Have a go at the following exam paper.
June 2010 Paper
Write your responses on paper and hand in to me on Tuesday 1st April.
NB: All other responses can be posted on your blogs.
Please email me if you have any problems: nst@......
Good Luck and I will see you next week.
Nina
