TV Guide

Introduction

You have to work as a TV director  and elaborate a TV guide for specific viewers.

These are the specific viewers' groups: teenagers, housewives, young lawyers , family,  children and the elderly. 

Your main mission will be to create a different interesting, appealing, and, above all, entertaining daily TV guide for each!

Task

For creating your TV guide, first you will have to select information carefully from the internet, depending on the group you are going to be directed to.

Check your number in class and you will find where you are. These are the different groups you are going to be working with:

  • teenagers
  • housewives
  • young lawyers
  • family
  • children
  • the elderly  
Process

Form groups of five people and then choose the type of viewers you want to devote your work to.

Then, go to these sites and search for the information that may be useful to help you build your TV Guide:

    Be sure you have an interesting, balanced TV Guide, with cultural programmes, news, quizzes, documentaries, films, etc!

    After building your TV guide you have to present it to the rest of the class, explaining the reasons for your choices and each programmes' content!
