Reminder: Assignments For Tuesday 2nd August

1. Hope everyone's interviews have been going well. You need to have your research presentations ready for Tuesday morning. Collate the data you have gathered from the interviews under different themes. See that you are at class by 9 and upload everyone's presentations on one person's laptop to save time. Save multiple copies of your work and check if you can open it on a laptop other than your own. Rehearse your presentations and time yourselves. You will be stopped at the end of 5 minutes however interesting your presentation is, so keep it brief. This assignment will be graded and we will begin at 9.30 a.m.
   
2. Each group also needs to have its collages ready to show Sabina on Tuesday morning. It should be accompanied with a title which clearly states the message of the images in one sentence and a 500 word letter to readers from the editors. In this letter you will 'deconstruct' the message of images and articles presented in the magazines. This means you will tell people what the image is saying to readers about their beauty, health, well being, intelligence or efficiency. See that you have a print out or a hand written letter attached to the collage.
   Here is an unrelated example of how mothers' guilt and concerns over their children's well being is exploited by advertisers of food supplements. Hope it gives you some ideas:
   "Dear Reader, It is time you realized that the reason your child is doing so badly in school is because you are not feeding him the right sort of food. Educated, well informed mothers know the importance of the right nutrition in giving children a head start in this competitive world. If you took the trouble to educate yourself you would buy a good quality food supplement for your child. Of course children don't like eating vegetables, but that's no excuse for a responsible mother. A caring, responsible and clever mother knows how to get around these things. She buys a food supplement that is tasty and healthy to give her child the right nutrition which would help him/her to perform to the best of her ability in school..."
