AS 2010-2011

Great start - all of you who have posted media stories this summer. I am looking forward to our lessons. Bring a notebook with you to class - a spiro bound reporters' style is fine. You will also find a memory stick useful for when you are doing presentations to the group.

A2 group - get your research and your essays onto your blogs! Aswell as researching the address story that I emailed you about, watch the 'Newswatch' report that came from Malta and research the topic on social news. Do not forget the tabloid and broadsheet research; you need hard facts to back up your opinions. Be prepared to do a presentation on your papers.
