A little project for half term

Yr12:

For presentation Wednesday 9th November.

A detailed study of a music magazine of your choice

You need to:
  • Identify the magazine, its context, its genre.  how long has it been in publication?  which Institution publishes it?  How might that effect its content?
  • What is the purpose of this magazine?
  • Identify and explain the target audience ( use the reading I gave you)
  • Deconstruct the front cover - look at the semiotics, who is being communicated to / how? (use the key words)  How has the page been constucted to communicate with the TA?
  • Deconstruct the content page - what extra info are we given about the TA?  Genre? Institution?
  • What values are being suggested to the TA?
  • Is the magazine effective at targetting its audience?
  • What have you learnt about the production of magazines?
  • How can you use this in your coursework?
Your answers need to be posted to your blog, including relevant images of the magazine.

Greetings to our new Yr12 students who have been tasked with setting up their new accounts and hello to our returning Yr13s who did so well last year.

I'm in the process of moving our site from our old school to our new one.

Once you've read this you need to add a link to this home page and send me your new account addresses.
