FORGET THE ESSAY

INSTEAD...

I want you to come up with an idea for a reality TV show, write at least 3 paragrapghs explaining your idea (we will hopefully be able to build on this idea). Write about the idea on your blogs or email it to me

THEN...

On A3 paper design a homepage for the new reality TV show, consider all the different elements it could have and links to others pages. Remember it need to REPRESENT your show (just like the apprentice one did). You need to then do a piece of writing that denotates and connotates the homepage design (do this also on your blogs)

SIMPLES!
