How to use your blog...

As we've said numerous times... You MUST make sure that you involve yourself in the media. To show us that you are and to show your engagement you are going to create a blog.

On this blog, weekly, you will create a new post about something that you have done. This could be:
•Watching a new show, film, or trailer.
•Maybe you saw a new poster which you liked the look of.
•You listened to a new podcast or radio programme.
•You found a new youtuber/youtube channel and viewed some of their videos.

•You played a new game or saw a new game trailer that grabbed your interest.

•You read a magazine or newspaper

In the post you should make sure you:

•Write a minimum of 150 words about why you liked or didn’t like what you saw/played/listened to/read. This should just be a brief review.
•Give it a rating

•You should include at least one image or video in your post

•Both year 12 and year 13 classes will be doing this task. 

•You are expected to upload one post a week.

•Failure to do so will lead to yellow cards and detentions.

•Check other peoples blogs (on the right of this page) to see what they’ve been posting, as you never know… it could actually interest you! 

An example post:

Donnie Darko (2001) 9/10

Donnie Darko is one of my all time favourites films. A well develop and thought provoking film about time travel that does a great job of keeping the viewer interested and questioning what is going to happen and how the characters all tie together. It's a fairly slow paced film about a teenager's struggle and how to correct the mistakes which have been made. It has been known to leave some viewers slightly confused by the end events but if you enjoy the film then I'd highly recommend the directors cut which adds an extra layer of depth to the events.
