...don't forget your response to the following essay question is due in on Monday 18th January:
"As a medium video games offer an inherently active and addictive experience. Because of this games such as Grand Theft Auto and Manhunt 2 pose a more significant threat to society than films such as Natural Born Killers and Base-Moi" To what extent do you agree with this statement?
Should you have any questions or need support feel free to e-mail me!
As school is cancelled again here is some work for you:
1. If you did not see this on Wednesday - please read this Guardian Article and make notes.
2. Read this article from www.education.com and this article from NewScientist and this one from mediawatch-uk - make notes. I'm trying to offer a little perspective from the anti-media side of the fence.
3. Listen to the "classifying video games" podcast from the SBBFC website.
4.Finally, prepare (DO NOT write the essay - I wish to give your last essay back first!) a response to the following question:

Make notes; draw primary and secondary evidence together; try to incorporate a balance of material from the work we have done on both film and video games.
