Media Studies Period 4 class
Chapters 7 and 10 (for class no. 22)
First think about media technology and advertising. What did you know about
them before you began this course? What have you learnt about them since
beginning this course, since they are both topics that affect all aspects
of the media? What more do you want to know about them?
Then look quickly through both Chapter 7 and Chapter 10. What similarities
and differences are there between the structure of the two chapters and
the sort of information they provide?
The following students should read Chapter 7: Erena, Katsuya, Kazumi,
Koji, Mia, Satoshi, Shizuka, Yo, Yoshihiro, Youssef
The following students should read Chapter 10: Chiharu, Erika, Kanako,
Kei'ichi, Kota, Minyoung, Sayaka, Seunghee, Wataru
Please be ready to explain in your words:
1. The main idea of each section of the chapter.
2. Elements that have changed since the book was published.
3. The differences and similarities between the situations described in
the book and the situation in Japan.
a) Is Peter Wall always "objective"? Can you detect any cases
where he is suggesting his preference for one particular view?
b) Are there any points that you find difficult to understand? (Ask about
these before I ask you!)
c) Are there any points that you would like to discuss further?
