LI: To shine the light on who makes media and why
This week we took our second Newshound session with Mrs Grant. We were practising identifying who makes media, who they make it for, why they make it, and are there any hidden messages by listening to two different PODcasts.
Next, we learnt about how media shows two sides of a story and the type of language they used. Lastly, we needed to make a poster that would either advertise the article about a new type of cake, or warn people not to eat it. We needed to use the positive fact if we were advertising the cake but we have to use negative facts if we’re warning others about it. We decided to make a poster advertising it because there were more positive facts than negative.
I found this activity fun because I learnt how to find out who makes media and why.
