15th January - GAP re-cap analysis task

Hello everyone!

Below is your task for the first half of today's lesson.

I have linked you all to a Charlie Brooker blog post in the Guardian in which he discusses inventions such as the 'selfie stick'. It has been a while since we have done a GAP style model analysis, so this task is intended to refresh your memories.

In this task I would like you to identify the GAP, comment on the frameworks used, and comment on the individual language techniques that Brooker uses.

Write this up as a mini-essay, either hand-written or typed. It maybe helpful to you if you print out the article so you can annotate it. We will be leaving for split lunch at 12:55, so you have 45 minutes!

Never mind the 'selfie stick' or the 'smart belt' – here are some REALLY useful inventions
