AS Media - Homework for 30th April

Hello all,

Your homework for this week is two-fold.

Firstly, take 15 minutes to finish off your essay started in the lesson.  Be strict with yourself and only allow 15 mins so you can get used to the nature of the exam.

Secondly, follow this link to find another video.  The question is: "How does the clip of 'Hustle' create a representation of gender?" 

• Watch it 4 times with only a couple of minutes between each one and then give yourself exactly 45 minutes to write the essay.  Again, be strict and give yourself only the time you would have in the exam.

You need to bring both essay to the lesson next Monday as we will be using them in the lesson.
