Without looking at the list below, listen to your teacher list vocabulary from one area of the media. When you are sure which one it is, put up your hand and guess. You are only allowed one guess, with one point for a correct answer but minus five points for a wrong one. Other answers which could be true but are not that way in the list below also count as wrong. Some words could be in more than one section, so you have to wait until a clue that tells you for sure which section is being read from if you don’t want to lose points.
When your teacher stops the guessing game, label the sections below with different types of media. Most types of media have more than one section each.
