Workshops for TTO students
Media & Culture / Part 2
The International Baccalaureate provides a unique opportunity for students to learn about the way the media work through the Language A2 course. Although students and teachers realize the pertinence of media studies in this digital age, many feel bewildered by the range of topics on offer. This course engages students so that they become more than familiar with the topics. They will feel well equipped with critical thinking skills, a strong dose of enthusiasm, and concrete ideas on how to tackle some of the external assessments ahead of them.
Target audience: TTO 5-6
Instructor: Brad Philpot
Topics covered:
- Advertising: We will become aware of some of the common techniques used by advertisers today.
- The Internet: How has Web 2.0 been revolutionary?
