Deal or No Deal

Visit the NBC version of 'Deal or No Deal' and play a game (should take no more than 5 minutes).  You should note how this experience differs from the television production in terms of atmosphere, hype and emotion.  Using your notes, and the deconstruction of the television program done in class, post a comment that explains how the television program is constructed to highly engage its audience.

You have now examined a range of texts that deal with the concept of 'Family'.  Each address various elements and ideas: what a family is, how family impacts on us, the expectations of family, the importance of family, the role and responsibilities of parents, to name a few.
