Todorov and Propp

Hello girls,

Well done on your presentations this week, they were very impressive. Now it's time to apply the theories of Propp and Todorov to British TV Drama.

Holiday homework!

Task 1
You must watch on BBC iPlayer - Doctors, apply the narrative theories and make notes on your blog. Pay particular attention to Propp's character roles. Remember you will need to start taking note of the character names!

Task 2
Now choose your own drama - keep it British. Again apply the theories and update your blog.

No excuses! Enjoy your holiday.

Ladies,

If you are still unsure about ideology, you need to read up on it over the holidays.

TV Drama Log

Ladies, you must keep a record of all British TV dramas you watch each week by updating this following information on your blogs. You will be expected to write detailed notes on the following:

- scheduling information - time, date, audience, channel
- brief summary of the storyline
- groups, events, individuals, places that are represented?
- Ways this representation is conveyed
- Examples of binary opposition
- Intended overall message
- Any alternative readings

Happy blogging!
