YEAR 11 PREP WED 30 JANUARY: LEGO MOVIE AD BREAK

I am stage manager of the school production and will be in the rehearsal.

Individual work to make progress with your Production work, which is due in by the deadline of Friday 15 February.

Makt: Focus on your front cover design and I will see your progress on Thursday. Check the 'page' 03 MUSIC MAGAZINE at the top of the class blog. Remember: At least 6 cover lines on the front cover 

as well as cover price, bar code, edition number. 

Ben: you may do your photos of Rahim if you want, if you have remembered the guitar, then get on with your cover. See my reminders to Makt above about content.

Sam: I would spend time researching your double page design as well as composing the text etc for your cover. I would create a folder on the Mac desktop and have ready in it the text for your cover lines, cover price, bar code, edition number. 

Seb: I’d like you to work on your front cover. See notes to Makt and Ben.

S.E.B’s album is called MAELSTROM, by the way. It is now in the double page spread.

Nathan: edit the title of the track / performer as discussed last week. When complete, see below for Avengers exam work, which you must complete on your blog.

All other pupils: You should work on your soap opera editing. 

PREP FOR ALL If you are not able to work on this without me being there, please go to the Year 10 cover work for today and complete that on your blog. It is taken from the brand new exam question that OCR issued this week so it is really helpful for us to do this well.

Yr 10 AVENGERS: REPRESENTATIONS OF GENDER

COVER WORK for WEDNESDAY 30 JANUARY Period 1
PREP for Year 11
I am stage manager with the school play Dress Rehearsal this morning, so please do the following work on your blog. Complete for PREP.

Title of your classwork blog post is THE AVENGERS: REPRESENTATIONS OF GENDER

First line of your blog post: HOW DOES THE AVENGERS CHALLENGE TRADITIONAL REPRESENTATIONS OF GENDER TO REACH A 1960's AUDIENCE?

In your answer, analyse how both Peel and Steed are presented, supporting your comments with examples of what they do and say, what they wear, and how they behave with each other. You can take examples from anywhere in the programme, which you may listen to on ClickView with headphones (if you have headphones). 

• Is Peel a strong female lead? Does she use her intelligence to solve the case? Does this challenge traditional stereotypes of men being in control and holding all the power?
• What evidence is there that Peel is adventurous, cool, unflappable, a skilled fencer, physically brave, well educated, financially independent?
• Does she answer Steed back and hold her own? Does he assume command? Is there a jokey, equal  quality to their relationship?
• Is Steed urbane, self-confident, 
• Do Peel's tight-fitting costumes sexualize her? Is this a common stereotypical treatment of women?
• Are they any occasions when Peel is seen to be 'rescued'? Is this a traditional stereotype?
• The programme was broadcast after the nine o'clock watershed. Has this allowed for more 'romantic' elements in the narrative?
