Super-Curriculum Tasks Year 9 Super-Curriculum Tasks Year 9 1 Super-Curriculum At Roundwood Park School we want to encourage you all to become confident and assured learners, or scholars perhaps. Learning does not just happen in the classroom. If you are to achieve mastery in any subject or you want to follow up a passion that you have, you will need to go beyond the activities in the lesson time. We have developed this booklet of super-curriculum tasks so that you have many ideas of what to do. Completing these tasks will help you to develop many Aspire habits. You will become a more resilient, ambitious and independent learner. Developing these habits will help you to mature and become ready for study at GCSE and for lifelong learning in the future. Most importantly, you will also have lots of fun along the way. This booklet is filled with exciting things to do, read and find in your own time. Some tasks may involve your whole family. You may even discover things that your teachers do not know, so be sure to share what you learn when you are back in school! When you have completed tasks in a given subject, please tell your teachers. Good luck, and have fun.

This article explores the celebritification of online video-bloggers in relation to their own discursive community. Focusing on the VlogBrothers (John and Hank Green) and their community ‘Nerdfighters’, this article demonstrates how their philosophy of “Imagining Others More Complexly” (IOMC) is used to debate ‘celebrity’ and its legitimacy. Their vision of celebrity is egalitarian and democratic, rooted in Western culture’s ‘expressive turn’ (Taylor, 1989).

  • Charlie Is So Cool Like: Authenticity, Popularity and Inclusive Masculinity on Youtube Abstract on the World's Most Utilised V
    Charlie is so cool like: Authenticity, Popularity and Inclusive Masculinity on YouTube Abstract On the world’s most utilised video-sharing social networking site, YouTube, Charlie McDonnell (Charlieissocoollike), Dan Howell (Danisnotonfire), and Jack and Finn Harries (JacksGap) are Britain’s most popular video-bloggers (vloggers). With more than two million regular subscribers to each of their channels, along with millions of casual viewers, they represent a new form of authentic online celebrity. These young men, whose YouTube careers began as teenagers, do not espouse a traditional form of masculinity; they are not sporty, macho, or even expressly concerned with being perceived as heterosexual. Instead, they present a softer masculinity, eschewing the homophobia, misogyny, and aggression attributed to boys of previous generations. These behaviours are theorised using Anderson’s Inclusive Masculinity Theory. Drawing on analysis of 115 video-blogs (vlogs), along with an in-depth interview with Charlie McDonnell, this article examines how these young men developed and exhibit their inclusive masculinities and attitudes, which we postulate are a reflection of dominant youth culture. Keywords: authenticity, celebrity, inclusive masculinity, popularity, vlogging, YouTube 1 Introduction Research on heterosexual male youth has traditionally found that an anti-gay, anti-feminine model of masculinity has maintained dominance in youth cultures (Connell, 1995; Mac an Ghaill, 1994; Pollack, 1999). Influenced by a broader culture which valorised this model, boys established themselves as both masculine and heterosexual through enacting aggressive, macho, and stoic behaviours. Engaging with these masculine traits raised boys’ popularity, stratifying them according to a narrow set of gendered expectations (Plummer, 1999). Given the cultural conflation of male femininity with homosexuality, homophobia was also central to the social construction of masculinities (Kimmel 1994).

Please cite this paper as: James Cronin and Hayley Cocker (forthcoming), Managing Collective Effervescence: ‘Zomsumption’ and Postemotional Fandom, Marketing Theory ACCEPTED FOR PUBLICATION | May 11, 2018 ORCID NUMBER: 0000-0001-7289-2501 DOI: https://doi.org/10.1177/1470593118787589 [Hayley Cocker] [Lecturer in Marketing] Lancaster University Management School Lancaster, LA1 4YX 1 Managing Collective Effervescence: 'Zomsumption' and postemotional fandom Abstract Based on an analysis of the YouTuber-fan community, we theorise the “living dead” nature of collective effervescence under postemotional conditions. We introduce the concept of zomsumption whereby “dead” emotions are carefully synthesised, governed, and presented as “living” throughout the communal consumption of a totem. Here, we explore fans’ efforts to ensure the stability and longevity of their community through the lifelessness of their emotional behaviour. By forfeiting genuine and unfiltered emotions in favour of their rationalisation and governance, fans access the illusory potential for more manageable forms of sociability and totemic worship. This outlook prompts us to reconsider the nature of the relationship between consumption communities and dominant structures of feeling. We suggest that consumption communities should not be presumed liberatory retreats from such structures as, contrarily, some may function as microcosms for reflecting and even incubating the wider postemotional order. Keywords: postemotionalism, YouTube, fandom, community, zombie, collective effervescence 2 Introduction Where does fandom fit within the neoliberal projects of moderation and self-control? In today’s “narcissistic” (Cluley and Dunne, 2012), “responsibilised” (Giesler and Veresiu, 2014) and “reflexive” (Beckett and Nayak, 2008) market-based society, a premium is placed upon fitting in, protecting one’s image, and calibrating how one behaves.

TITLE: Charlie-is-so-“English”-like: Nationality and the branded-celebrity person in the age of YouTube ABSTRACT: The YouTube celebrity is a novel social phenomenon. While this seeming novelty has bearing on developments in the social and cultural study of celebrity more generally, this article focuses upon one case-study – Charlie McDonnell and his video ‘How to be English’. It argues the YouTube celebrity is able to construct a celebrity personage through turning one’s socio-cultural aspects of identity, such as nationality, into components to be drawn upon by using them as masks to perform with.

  • GEOGRAPHY Super Curriculum Booklet
    The Super Curriculum Geography The Super Curriculum Super curricular activities are those that take your regular curriculum further. They take the subjects you study in the classroom beyond that which your teacher has taught you or what you’ve done for home learning. For example, you may go into more depth on something you picked up in the classroom, or learn about a new topic altogether. These activities are normally in the form of extra reading but they can take many other forms, like watching videos online, downloading podcasts, attending lectures, visiting museums or entering academic competitions. Engaging in super curricular activities will help you develop a love for your favourite subject or subjects. In this booklet, there are a range of activities, suggested by your teachers. They are by no means exhaustive lists but should get you started. I would encourage you to share ideas and opportunities you come across with your teachers so that, over time, the recommended activities in this booklet can grow. In the future, employers or universities will be interested to hear about what super curricular activities you have engaged in; they will be interested in what you have learnt and impressed by your efforts. I wish you well in your pursuit of super curricular activities!
