PART OF THE NEXT GENERATION OF YR12-ians

our teacher is strange and i'm not exactly sure what Other Texts to use with our Representation of truth module.

Any ideas/help would be greatly appreciated

The Games (ABC)
MediaWatch (ABC)
CNNNN (ABC)

Hmm, ABC is turning up a lot ...

Just think of shows/articles that show the media for who they "really" are ...

 

[!meeee!]

you don't have to do media related stuff tho
but yes, it's sometimes easier to integrate

BackBerner (ABC) and CNNNN should be on Thursday nghts. (8.30 and 9.30 respectively) You can get them both down in one go, and you can also use the websites.

There's another thread on the additional materials you could use.

that was probably because its better to show your ideas of truth and representation are prevalent in many different type and genres of texts ...

Wag the Dog is a good film for representation and the truth.
