themthem Posted November 5, 2017 Report Share Posted November 5, 2017 Hi, Are advertisements (and references to movies/shows) suitable primary data sources for an FOA on cultural and gender stereotyping? Thanks! My FOA is in 2 days!! Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Befuddled Posted November 5, 2017 Report Share Posted November 5, 2017 (edited) Hey, The FOA is an activity which is based off work you do in class. Normally, your teacher will have given you texts during the topic that you study and brainstorm upon. These are the texts you use for the FOA's base. However, some people have also added other material like posters/images alongside the above texts. So, to answer your question, you can definitely use adverts. Make sure it was done in class if it is the central text. Then, you are free to reference and allude to any other media item.

But my teacher told us NOT to use any texts we did in class; she wanted us to find texts from another source, so I decided to use advertisements.

Befuddled Posted November 6, 2017 Report Share Posted November 6, 2017 That's strange! My teacher specifically wanted us to use in-class texts Shows you how open the IB is in terms of assessment Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
