-Media Battleships:

Split into groups of two.

One will argue for, the other against.

You will have a sheet of paper which you will pass to and fro.

You are not allowed to speak.

We will hear back peoples discussions at the end. The first to run out of ammunition, sinks!

QUESTION: Should freedom of the press mean exactly that or should newspapers, especially tabloids, ensure they do not embellish the truth and remain objective? Isn’t it the readerships responsibility to fact check or is the Media integral to the construction of peoples ideologies.

NOTE: All task sheets, differentiated resources and audio/visual stimuli are included within the lesson/ Power Point. This resource includes H/W and a Mastery Sheet on a 30 marker question.
