Media Studies Field Trip- October 14th

On Wednesday October 14th our Media Studies course will be traveling alongside Mr. White's World Issues course to Toronto for a field trip.

On this trip we will be visiting a photojournalism exhibit, the National Film Board of Canada, and Much Music's Much On Demand studio.

There are 40 spots between the two courses so it is first come, first serve. Get your permission forms in quickly.

Documentary: Sharkwater

Over the past several days our Media Studies course has watched the documentary by Toronto filmmaker Rob Stewart Sharkwater.

Here is a sublimentary clip from Rob Stewart's interview on The Hour with George Stroumboulopoulos.

There will be an intro to media quiz this Friday at the start of class.

I would like to take this opportunity to welcome all students to the Grade 11 Media Studies course

The course will be focused on studying all forms of media and becoming aware of its power and influence.

The coursework will consist of notes, tests, assignments, and major projects. All work is expected to be handed in on time. A mark of Zero will be assigned to any assignment that is handed in after the class has recieved their marks for it.

Parents will be contacted on a regular basis to ensure they have an awareness of how their son/daughter is progressing in the course. Parents can also use this website to keep informed on what is happening in our classroom.


I look forward to a great semester with this class.
