Wednesday 19th October

I have been looking at your blogs and they are of varying quality! Don't forget, its still all to play for to get the Top Blogger badge for this half term. I will let you know the results on the first lesson back after half term.

Work that you need to have completed by the end of half term:

1. Audience focus group profiles.
2. Powerpoint on the history of the UK Music Press (those that I have seen have been far too sketchy).
3. A podcast on the current situation of the music press (in crisis due to general crisis in the press industry & the changing face of the music industry due to the internet). Have blogs taken over from Fanzines?
4. Flatplans for ideas for Front cover, contents and Double page spread.
5. Take initial photos for magazine ( see Ben if you need to borrow a camera over half term, try and meet with someone else over hols to share resources).

This all needs to be uploaded to your blogs by the time we return. You may email me at vcasson@shsg.org if you need extra clarification on this.

To upload powerpoints you can:

1. Create an account with slideshare or


2. Create an account with sliderocket

both of these can be worked on at home or school and can be easily embedded into blogger.

I would suggest using both, then in your evaluation and in Year 13 when you have your Critical Perspectives exam you can discuss which you preferred and why. The examiners really want you to use as many different formats as possible.
