Bowling For Columbine & Audience Response

Today we'll be covering some examples to help you with the Task 2b piece that you're submitting on the 20th. By the end of the session you should have a good foundation to write up the first half of your essay on Bowling for Columbine...

FIRST!

Get into 3 equal sized groups (one of you will be the Dominant response group, one will be the Negotiated response group and the final will be the Oppositional response group)

The Task: You are a pressure group, campaigning to the government about advertising.
Look at this poster Protein World's Weight Loss Collection:


Each group must put together a PREPARED STATEMENT outlining their group's point-of-view on the poster. Remember that you are trying to convince a government body about this advertisement, so make sure that your statement is clear and structured.

SECOND!

Each group will present their statement

As we go around, the other two groups must evaluate whether they think that the statement is a) convincing, and b) accurately reflects their given response (be that Dominant, Negotiated or Oppositional)


Watch the trailer for Bowling for Columbine



What do you think Moore's preferred reading is? What message are we meant to come away with?

Look on youtube for clips of the film (there's plenty of 3 to 5 minute scenes)


Write up what happens in the clip, how it is supporting Moore's argument and what the Dominant, Negotiated or Oppositional response would be.

Now look at a nearby person's clip and think about how your chosen response would apply to THAT clip

Evaluate the choice of clip and response of the person sat closest to you


THIRD!

Finish up your initial movie clip and response paragraph

Begin to write up notes on a second clip and another response

Look for a third clip on youtuube for whichever response you haven't written about yet
