The New Media: Classroom Resources Paperback – Import, September 2, 2002

The New Media: Classroom Resources offers a range of classroom-friendly pupil resource sheets containing exercises, essay questions and tasks that contextualise the subject for students while offering a sturdy framework for the teacher.
