In our lesson we have bee looking at the types of exams questions that we could be asked in the exam, also we have been looking at the 'Magazine Wonderwall' which is where you chose a few of the exam questions from the wall and then do some research on that question and then answer it.
Here are a few of the questions we may be asked:


- In what ways are magazines and webzines converging with apps and social networking facilities?

- What are ‘recommendation engines’?  How have, or how might ,magazines  make use of the web to make sure that their contents are what its  audience want?  How could they use the web to change  what they know about their audiences?

Analysing Ethnicity

How is ethnicity represented in this extract?

When you watch the last few minutes of the clip, you start to gain sympathy for the Iraq fishes because you realise that she holidays been forced to help in the bombing and you start to think that this could be the reason why some are helping with the bombing. When you first watch the clip you dont feel sorry for the Iraq people at all but when you hear about what the British and American have been doing then you start to understand why they are doing what they are doing, you dont think it is right but you see there point. I do think that you feel sorry for her because she is a women and your upset because she lost her family so even though she doesnt want to do it she feels that she has a duty to her family.
