This document outlines the course details and expectations for a Media Studies class. It includes information about trips related to different media forms, written assessments that will be completed every half term, and setting up individual blogs for submitting coursework. Students are introduced to common media forms and asked to research sub-forms within each. They will analyze adverts using the LIAR media framework and complete activities comparing different media texts.
