Meme Project: A2

A2 students have been exploring what they think it means to be media literate. We have looked at traditional ideas of literacy, as well as more contemporary new literacies, such as digital literacy.

In exploring what it means to be digitally literate, we are looking at remix culture and web 2.0 ideas of creating rather than just consuming. As part of this, learners are undertaking a MEME PROJECT where they will conduct some independent research on memes then use this knowledge and understanding to create their own. They will share their meme on social media then analyse how the concept could be used as part of their advanced portfolio.

Projects will be shared on their blogs next week. Click on the A2 learners blogs to see their viral work!

Visual Representation Project

To get your creative juices flowing, the first project of the year asks you to carefully consider the difference between writer's intentions and reader's interpretations.

Using only visuals, your will create a representation of yourself which will be analysed by the rest of the class to  understand the differences in interpretations depending on our race, gender, culture, age etc.

Details of the project are below and HERE.
