The Media Unit
Recently we have started our new unit HOW WE EXPRESS OURSELVES in which we are learning about media. We are looking at HOW MEDIA INFLUENCES THE WAY WE THINK AND ACT. So far we looked at WHAT IS MEDIA and HOW IT INFLUENCES AUDIENCES. We did a few activities to help us answer those questions and get deeper into what media is.
What we did this is week is we have chosen a partner to work with, and go to Britanica and research about medea using Cornell notes. Also we did a brainstorm about what we all think media is and shared our definition of media in group’s. Than later on we had pictures given to us that we put under Print, Broadcast, Outdoor and Digital and then once done as a class we and Ms.Anji had a debate about what goes where. We also did a skit in groups to represent the central idea.

For us the most valuable experience to the class was the debate about where in media does the CD/DVD belong to because we weren't sure if it goes under Digital or Broadcast since you have control over it and it's pretty high tech but it has the content of BroadCast. It was a good class discussion/debate. And we really enjoyed it too.
We think that this is a very interesting unit and its knowledge will help us a lot in the future.

Great blog post Ayaka and Olga! I really enjoyed our debate about whether a CD or DVD falls under the category of DIGITAL MEDIA or BROADCAST MEDIA as well. I can see both sides of the argument we discussed. I wonder what other people think?

It was very good! Olga and Ayaka. But we learned so much things.
I didn’t understand Ed what is “MEDIA” is. But After I learned in ISS,I understanded what is it. Media mean is tell us many information, special things. For that, company people have to put in internet, then to connect to international.
Also we did drama about media. I was with Ayaka and Aoi and Kamal. Kamal became like a leader ship,but we thought how company people would they doing. Actually we were drama so well! Good job everyone!!

This was so much fun! I learnt so many new things about media and I think Olga and Ayaka did a very good job talking about what we did. The debate of the CD was so much fun and is still very debatable. I am hoping we can have class discussions like this again. So far I am enjoying the new unit a lot!

Very nice Olga and Ayaka. I liked CD debates because at first I didn't know which type of media is CD but now I learned that CD is more like both digital and broadcast category. I also liked the skit that we did. I didn't had much lines, but I spoke like how advertiser speaks. I wish I could do that kind of skit again. I love the new unit!

At first before Grade 5, I had no idea what is media. But now I know what it is, I knew why I got attracted to advertisements. Also, we couldn't control anything on TV but we can control video websites like Youtube.

Very nice, Olga and Ayaka! I like how you did the colour. First I didn't know if the CD will fit in Broadcast or Digital. But then we talked about it. I really enjoyed the skit because I wanted to know how skit can show how media influence us and the others. If I forget things, I can go back and read what you wrote.

We really had a lot of fun doing this debate about wether CD's were Broadcasted type media or, digital type of media. We also enjoyed doing the skits and we loved watching other people's skits which were really interesting and put us in deep thought. This was great work Ayaka and Olga keep up the good work!
