Language and Mass Communications
Q: What should my topic be for this FOA?
A: You may choose any topic that we study in our Mass Communications unit. This is a largely open-ended presentation and should be about
something that strikes your interest from the topics studied and discussed in class.
Q: What type of text do I need to use for my FOA?
A: Your FOA must be in response to a particular text, however, the type of text is subjective. For example, you might create your OWN text and discuss it with the class or you might use an article or advertisement to which you will respond.
Q: What format should my FOA take?
A: Your presentation can take any format. Yes, you heard me - ANY format. In fact, you don't even need to present your FOA in front of the class. You could video tape your presentation or create an mp3 file for a radio show and submit the file for me to mark. These presentations should be more creative in order to show your understanding of media.
Q: Can I work with others?
A: Yes. Your FOA can be done individually, in partners, or in a small group.
Q: What is the time length?
A: Individually: No longer than 12 minutes. You will be cut off.
In partners/groups: Everyone needs to speak for 6-8 minutes.
Q: When is it due?
A: You can decide the due date for your FOA, however it must be completed no later than Friday, 28 March. This is a firm deadline. Zeros will be given to students who have not completed their FOA by this date, no exceptions.

Examples:
- Create a CNN iReport using journalism techniques
- Design a product and create an advertising campaign with a sales pitch to market it to a specific audience
- Choose an existing product and design an entire advertising campaign that includes print and online advertisements and a television commercial. Present the campaign to the class (what did you do and why did you do it?). Survey class reactions to the campaign and use the results to start a discussion.
- Convert a traditional advertising campaign for an existing product into a viral form of advertising. You may create, for example, a YouTube video. In your presentation to the class, focus on reactions to the piece or to the challenges involved in this type of advertising.
- Choose two articles from opposing newspapers and analyze them for the class to look for bias
- Show videos of two different news presentations to the class and lead a structured discussion of the differing content, styles, and biases of the two programs, and the audience or target market for the two different reports. For this activity, you will need to write the questions and have your own answers ready so that you can challenge opinions and ask follow-up questions when needed.
- Produce a newspaper and present the product to the class. Discuss most important issues in relation to your production and the concerns of the course, and open up a discussion of concerns raised in relation to audience, bias, or intercultural relationships.
- Write an article and submit it to Guardian Witness. In your FOA, present the article to the class, discuss the techniques you've used in your article, and discuss the impact that these new journalism avenues have on the changing face of media.
- Analyze the way in which social media was used during the Arab Spring.
- Analyze the social impact of slacktivism on social media.
- Write a satirical article for "The Onion" in the style of the "North Korea’s Top Leader named The Onion’s Sexiest Man Alive." Then, create a sensationalized news report that is reacting to the article.
- Analyze some of the words that have been added to our social media vernacular recently (Tweet, feels, trending, viral). Create a dictionary of new words to add to our vernacular and present them to the class.
