This document provides instructions and information for an upcoming lesson on media theory. It includes tasks to be completed by students in groups. The key points are: 1. The lesson will focus on categorizing media theories and understanding basics of theoretical frameworks. 2. Students will be split into groups and assigned different theorists to research and present on, including Barthes, Todorov, and Bandura. 3. Tasks include creating a glossary of terms, and researching specific media theorists in order to teach the class. 4. Presentations on theorists should include their name, a definition of their theory, and an application to a media text.
