Revising the Summary Question

This is question 1 in your Media Non-Fiction Paper

Get someone(parents/siblings/friends) to find a newspaper article (Guardian and Times are pretty good) and to ask a question on it. For example

http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2009/nov/22/barbara-ellen-comedy
- According to the above article - what current criticisms are there about comedians

Then you bullet point the answers to the question - taking care to make sure it's in your own words.

You could even go one further and get the person to set you a two part question (which is common in the exam) such as:

http://technology.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/tech_and_web/personal_tech/article6924233.ece
- What advancements are Google making and what are the problems that are going to be caused by this?
