Week 2's homework

Hi team

Here are the details for homework this week... also found on page 87 (Activity 2.7)

This work is to be done on your Blog. Create a 'research' tab and make this your first entry under that.

1.Read the 'Teen Drama' section of your coursebooks (p.81 - 86). Take note particularly of the txt box on page 84 for an example of how to produce a plot synopsis requires in point 3. 

2.  Choose an episode of a TV TEENAGE drama to analyse (preferably available on Youtube so you can cut and paste the episode with time-code to your blog for my reference)

2. Produce a plot synopsis with key issues represented in BOLD (see page 84 for example).

3. Conduct a content analysis to calculate the percentage of the episode devoted to each of the 3 categories below.


- Serious Social Issues  (e.g. bullying/ domestic violence/ treatment of immigrants etc)

- Everyday aspects of teenage life (e.g. learning to drive etc.)

- Teenage relationships ( e.g. parental pressures, romance etc.)

4. When you have worked out percentages, write a paragraph on how relevant this episode is to your life right now. In what ways? Give examples and discuss the extent to which this is the case.



Yell out if you have any questions and please get your teen drama choice to me by the end of the week.

Have fun!
