Hey guys, this looks like a hive of activity! It's looking good and you might just 'smash it'!
Don't forget to go back to this page when it comes to writing up your reflection for the Portfolio. It charts a good deal of the journey you've been on to get to the presentation, so provides a good record to draw on. Looking forward to seeing the presentation this afternoon.

# data[].attributes.body
OK this is the finished one prior to this afternoon.

Cools no problem, mine was more what Jake's false consciousness determines he does when he changes what animal he is from human to Na'vi

I've got my A4 written for tomorrows rehearsal too

# data[].attributes.body
I mean to focus solely on the   examples and ramifications of the *rejection* of the false consciousness. Not of the consequences of false consciousness itself. I'm actually planning on using my country's election of Donald Trump as a good example since Americans thought they were rejecting the ideas the "elite" were trying to put into their heads by voting for Trump.

Kerryn, I have already sent you my part :)

Simone

# data[].attributes.body
Kate, I've edited and typed up yours, I've added a small section on portrayal of disability, mainly to do with mise en scene etc.
Kerryn

# data[].attributes.body
Sounds fab Courtney, if possible would you be able to send a sheet of A4 with your talking points to me tonight? Just so I can add to the powerpoint :)
Kerryn

# data[].attributes.body
Hey I'm fine with you covering consequences of the lack of consciousness but will you check over my stuff incase we go over too similar content because i think mine sort of goes onto consequence of false consciousness. I'm going to post my contribution shortly.

thanks

Daryl

Okay, so I've been thinking about what I could do my subject/part on. What if I focused on a tie-in to Daryl's topic but instead of talking about consciousness w/in Marxism and Avatar itself, what if I focused on the consequences and results of the rejection of the consciousness created by the ruling class and found examples in Avatar and also in history? Other ideas are welcome and I'll keep thinking on more! -Courtney

Please send all of your information to - 15082134@stu.mmu.ac.uk so I can condense it to powerpoint and handouts this evening. I need everything by 9pm please. I'll post the powerpoint on here tonight, along with handouts. Kerryn

Kerryn: Responsible for the presentation of power point, handout, proofing through everyone ideas and condensing.

Said: Introduction of Marxism, focusing on conditions in which Avatar is produced – affiliation with Fox, right wing politics with links to Murdoch.

Daryl: Consciousness within Marxism and Avatar.

Liam: Focusing on Bourgeoisie and Proletariat within soldiers as workers that are represented.

Kate: Focusing on Navi links within Brazilian, Chinese etc.

Simone: Soldiers within terms of capitalism, how technology is portrayed and the organic culture.

COURTNEY - tried to get in touch, please email or reply so you can have your input.

I will look through tonight and look at the running order that will be coherent. Powerpoint will be simple, handout for others will be more detailed (same as our notes at front).

ALL INFO NEEDS TO BE SENT TONIGHT OTHERWISE I CAN'T INCLUDE IT IN THE POWERPOINT.
TOMORROW MEET AT 2PM.

Some ideas on Group Presentation

1) SYMPOSIUM

The group divides its
topic up into a series of more or less equal parts and each group member
is assigned the task of presenting one part of the topic.

Decide how to break up the
topic and order of presentation.

Decide how long each
member speaks for. Time management.

Problems might occur with
two members repeating the same information. Need to coordinate efforts.

Also with this style the
presentation runs the risk of becoming a series of unrelated bits unless the
group plans careful transitions between each segment. As a person is closing
their argument they could introduce the next person and topic.

It also helps if the
presenters refer to each others ideas – this way the group communicates the ‘connectedness’
of their material. 

2) Panel

A Panel is an interactive format.
A moderator poses questions or makes statements to the group, and group members
discuss.

The idea is for the
members of the group to have a discussion before the audience for the benefit
of the audience.

3) Debate

You can arrange a pro/con
presentation in which members of the group are split. Some present information
in favour of a particular issue, while the others in the group present the
opposing side. We can all think of questions which will elicit the best
response from the class on Marxist insight into Avatar.

4) PechaKucha

20 slides are shown for 20 seconds each whilst additional
information is given out in form of a narration. For our alloted time we could
complete two of these presentation encompassing Marxism and Avatar and then
move onto the debate portion.

Other mathods include Roundtables, Roleplaying  and Group Quiz using tools like Kahoot.

That isn't a bad idea but we have to figure out what each part should contain, i.e. the concepts we're doing, etc.

Hi everyone how about this. We split the presentation into parts people choose what parts... part 1: intro part2. the navi people. part 3. the americans. part 4. The disabled character. part5. conclusion/??? can add another part, how many people are in group? I can only meet up in the hour before but I have posted some links to info for secondary research. If everyone choose their parts we can put them onto one presentation 1 or 2 slides each for ten min pres.

Unless you're referring to coming up with concepts that she didn't already talk about? If that's what you're talking about, I'm not clear on that.

# data[].attributes.headline
We're supposed to pick two concepts from the Marx reading we already did according to the handout she gave out last class. (I just checked).

Ok so I have e-mailed Kate. The presentation is 10 mins long. She is going to book a room for us shortly. I have asked about the worksheet but I was under the impression we do our own research regarding Marxism ideology and avatar. Hopefully she can clear this up so we all know what this is about. But the mark is given on individual work so not too much pressure for presentation. Is anyone comfortable with doing powerpoint? Speaking? etc..

OK so does anyone have areas within Marxism that they can comfortably discuss?
Or are we dishing out parts from the worksheet?

# data[].attributes.body
We really need to get started on this.
I've checked over the handout and it seems like the first thing we need to do is decide on two key concepts from the reading to focus on. Any ideas?

# data[].attributes.headline
Right I'll e-mail kate and ask to book a room. I think it would help if we new who was doing what and how long each I think it will just be 2 minutes each. I'm gna try and write mine soon and post it on here.
