2. Photo - Upload the photo of your group to your blog to go with your evaluation
3. Evaluation - Write a quick (200-300 words) individual evaluation on how you think your presentation went. What would you do differently if you had to do it again? Do you think you used your glossaries well? What did you learn?
4. Mood in Music Video Analysis – Choose either Oasis ‘The Importance of being idle’ or Coldplay ‘The Scientist’ and write a blog entry analysing the visual footage. How is the mood and tone matched by visual footage? How do the images match or complement the music? Are the lyrics used in ‘acting out’ the visuals? Post a link to the video in with your blog entry
