Students must analyze representation in a TV drama of their choice and create a Prezi presentation highlighting this representation in one of the following areas: youth, gender, disability, race/ethnicity, religion, class/wealth, crime, age, or sexuality. They must find a 4 minute clip exemplifying their topic, ask a question about representation in the clip, conduct a survey to answer their question, and compare the characters to other representations, answering their question using evidence from the clip, survey, and examples. Presentations will be given after half term in small groups.

NOTE-TAKING/DISCUSSION WORKSHEET: The Social Network
Part I: As you watch and reflect on The Social Network, pay attention to the characters/topics and their rhetorical significance in the film. How are they portrayed? How are we, as viewers, supposed to perceive each character or idea? What choices do the filmmakers make to invite that response?
COLLEGE ADMINISTRATION
MEDIA
CALIFORNIA
LEGAL SYSTEM
CONTEMPORARY COLLEGE STUDENTS
GENDER
SOCIAL CLASS
RELIGION
Part II: As you watch and reflect on the film, pay attention to the deliberate choices of the filmmakers and the impact of those choices on viewers. It may be helpful to organize your thinking around four key elements of film, listed below.
CINEMATOGRAPHY (Camera Angle, Camera Distance, Camera Movement, etc)
EDITING (linking/cutting together of different shots, added effects, arrangement)
SOUND (emerging from within the scene AND sound that was added later, like musical score)
MISE-EN-SCENE (means literally “put into the scene” and can include: props, costuming, makeup, staged body language, lighting—any element that makes the scene)
Part III. Analyze the rhetorical situation and intend.
We need a signed copy of the code of conduct from each student as soon as possible. The code of conduct needs to be signed by both the student and carer. We will also need the number of the mobile telephone that the student will carry with them.

represented in this Eastenders clip?’ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ti-wLOMp7Vk

answer/ on a scale of 1-10 is this a fair representation of youth? What social background do
you think Jay and his friends come from? (Essay Box answer)would you like and and his
