Central idea: Identity and thinking can be influenced through the media.

Over the last few weeks, we have focused on the concept of xenotransplantation, inspired by our class text, and considered the role the media portrays in sharing information. Combining both, we created our own blogs exploring what xenotransplantation is (and sharing our own views about it), which we were then able to share. Then, this week, we have created broadcast interviews between a reporter and Dr Bryce, the leading xenotransplantation expert in our book; we've considered how he would share his views and use media as a platform to alter the thinking of others. Using editing software, we then recorded our broadcasts - watch out BBC, you've some tough competition coming your way!
