<p>Ok I have avoided commenting until now. This whole scenario was a prime example of how to kill a worthwhile<a></a> discussion and the kind of thing which makes people avoid this list.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Jenny, I personally appreciated you sharing and providing another way of looking at a part of the course which can be as dry as dry can be.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>To get things back to the discussion I will add an idea for people to use too. The Guardian in London has produced an ad which is based on the Three Little Pigs (find it on YouTube<a></a>). I set it as lang<a></a> analysis for my students when I was away
and it has produced some great discussion on how to approach the task. Some students tried to start at the top and work their way through, but the main contention was at the end of the advertisement, so their entire analysis was based on the wrong contention
(a cautionary tale for the end of year exam perhaps?). It was a complex task as they had to deal with both written and visual language and work out how to discuss a twisted fairy tale, embedded in another message.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>To add to this task there are now a series of spoofs on the ad as if the Sun in Britain (famous for their page three girls and their phone hacking) One of these is hilarious and I have used this to talk (briefly) about news 'spin'</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Lets share any way of enhancing the interest level in this task (and if there are any grammar errors inthis email which I have not proof read I don't want to know about it!!!)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Gail</p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="COLOR: black"></span> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="COLOR: black">Just sharing a wiki page I have just started to compliment what we do in the classroom as we move into Language analysis.
<a href="http://msgsresources.wikispaces.com/KONY+2012" target="_blank">Kony 2012</a> We settled on Kony 2012 as a focus for three reasons – one it illustrates all the power of visual and written language to persuade as well as including discussions of social
media. The second is the students are engaged in it. The third is of course this is provides excellent discussion material for responding to conflict in encountering conflict – if only it were so easy to ease the conflict burden in Uganda.
