HOW I WILL APPROACH MY TASK:
RATIONALE
As a member of the 'National Task Force on the Role of Youth in Australian Society' the team have decided to report on the issue that adolescents are represented in media in relation to 'schoolies week'.
THESIS
The media portrays adolescents as having no common sense and judge all youth that participate in schoolies events as being irresponsible.
SCOPE
The team will approach this issue by investigating in 3 different media texts; a newspaper report, a satirical article and a Visual article. Each section of the task will clearly explain the relevant issues to which it relates:
BODY OF REPORT Text – Title | Text – Type | Portrayal of Adolescents | Evidence | Media depicting students attending schoolies | Newspaper Article | Media depicting students attending schoolies | ''schoolies is no longer a celebration of finishing high school, but another excuse to get drunk and party all week''. | Intro to schoolies. | Satirical Article | Funny, about schoolies and adolescents. | But Withers sees the perpetual Toolie presence as a plus. “I was planning on getting wasted on about ten Lemon Ruskies last night, but it turned out some crusty old dude slipped rohypnol into my drink
