Year 12 Research Task

You have each been given a topic to research in preparation for the exam. You will need to prepare at least one Power Point slide with the key information which will then form part of one large presentation which can be given to all students for revision.

Your slide must be posted in media studies hand in work by lunch time on Tuesday 10th March. You need to be prepared to expand on the slide with some notes in the lesson on Wednesday 11th March.

I have given you some ideas where to look for the information but there are many more.
