Dear all, The documentary you need to watch to support our study of Long Form TV Drama is Noam Chomsky's Requiem for the American Dream and happily it is on YouTube (link below). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=twennt0_p1w You need to come to C5 to be registered and then I'd recommend watching it on the big screen as a class, or if you think you can't concentrate, on headphones on a computer. It is slightly longer than an hour, so you need to watch the final ten minutes or so in your own time. This documentary will form the basis for discussion work for next week so it is important you watch it, and make notes if you think you're likely not to retain the information. Best wishes Ms Cope

Dear all - just to let you know that the provisional date for the assessment is Monday 26th March. This means all your work - trailer, poster, website homepage, evaluation questions, and your blog - needs to be done by this date and ready to present. Thanks Ms Cope
