Prep for Lent Week Begninning 1st March 2010

First: if you were not in class on Friday, please send me your presentations as soon as possible so that I can upload them to this blog.

Monday: show me that you have found your AS notes on the history of British Cinema and added them to the notes you are currently making on Media and Collective Identity. I will be checking your notes to see how well you are keeping them - if they seem to be thin or incomplete I may ask you to copy somebody else's in a detention.

Thursday: produce a timeline showing the changes in British Cinema from the 1920's to the present day. Organise it by decade. For each decade, give details of the industry, using what you have learned from this week's presentations, along with one piece of contextual information. For example, for "The 1980's" you might add that cinema was weak due to the influence of VCRs and satellite TV, and for contextual detail you could add that 1981 was the year that Charles & Di were married. Just something to locate everything historically.
