Look at the examples and try to guess the word. What is the function and meaning of the word in the different contexts
- Write a list of sentences with the word "media" how many different contexts and meanings could you list? Compare your list with your partner.
- Look at the different meaning of the word "media" from the OED. Did you have all of them?
- Tell us about the source you chose and explain to the others why you chose it and what aspect you found most interesting?

a) The role of communication in human development
b) Human communication is far superior to the communication of animals.
c) We need the media to keep us informed about the world
d) Media is a means of mass manipulation
e) There is no more freedom of the press - Advertisers and owners are in charge of the media and they supress everything that is against their interests

It went OK but it was a bit all over the place. It was nice to meet Bilal for the first time and introduce him to the class. They seemed to be quite positive and welcoming. This class starts looking like a really good bunch of students who will be able to work together. They seem to be interested in the topic but I think they need more guidance and more materials to work with. We will work on the word list on Monday.
