Meanings & Representations Continued

Morning all

Firstly can you ensure that all your essays for Mirror Money and Mumsnet are completed and handed in by the end of the lesson, and a reminder that your comparison essay is due in today. Take some time now to complete this; the PPT from Monday's lesson is posted below.

We are continuing with the meanings & representations approach, and will be looking at the same, sensitive topic presented in two different newspapers from opposite sides of the political spectrum. This is in part so we can begin to recognise newspaper bias, since we will be looking at a lot of articles over the course of our study.

Read through the two articles and then complete the following task before you start to GRAMPS them:

After this, focus on the Guardian article; GRAMPS it and annotate it as closely as possible (it is a long article so this will take a while).

Once you have completed this, show me your annotations and I'll give you the extension task.

Any issues let me know!
