This 89 page Revision Guide covers all of the COMPONENT 1, SEC A and B texts in the GCSE EDUQAS Exam. The guide has been a year and a half in the making and consists of insights I have found teaching the EDUQAS specification this year. Moreover, the guide was created based on student feedback, areas of weakness I observed from that of my students during lessons/ mocks and content designed to stretch learners above the Grade 7. The guide is split into 3 easy to navigate sections: User Guide, Exam Breakdown, All 4 Rail terms broken down in a nutshell, all 5 contexts explained and ideal timings for the exam. All Section A forms; ‘Quality Street’, ‘This Girl Can’, ‘TMWTGG’ , ‘Spectre’, ‘Pride’, ‘GQ’, ‘The Sun’ and ‘The Guardian’. All section B forms including ‘Spectre’, ‘The Sun’, ‘Pokemon Go’ and ‘The Archers’ The guide includes the following: -A* Exemplars written by me based upon EDUQAS SAM’s questions, questions I have written myself and key areas of concern raised by the survey and students. -A coloured key consisting of two boxes; Green- TOP TIP FOR THE EXAM/ EXAMINER and Blue- KILLER FACT OR THEORY FOR THE EXAM and a glossary for each form and each assigned RAIL Term. -For those of you who have purchased my resources from the TES before or are familiar with my Power Points, the guide is a vibrant and visual revision aide. The guide consists of slides/ resources taken from my Power Points and lessons. -Each Form is studied in depth and against all of RAIL, based upon what Section/ Sections of the exam it pops up in. For example, the Newspaper Unit appears in SEC A (Media Language and Representation) and SEC B (AUD and IND). -There are a variety of tasks assigned to each form (which can be done in the boxes/pages provided in the booklet) which prompt students to apply newfound knowledge as well as ass retained knowledge of terms or theories they have learned about earlier in the guide. These tasks range from writing PEE exemplars based on an Exam style question to brainstorms, opinion/debate tasks and key considerations for the exam. These are ideal for H/W or Revision tasks and can be linked to tasks in class. -An in-depth glossary at the start of each form on all of the RAIL elements. This changes each time, for each form.

Of all the resources I have created, this is the one that I am most proud of. The completion of this guide concludes a labour of love that has taken me 5 months to compile, collate and write. For those of you have purchased the earlier iteration of this guide, ther eis much that is familiar with several enhancements that have been based upon student feedback and developments in the course. The guide is: -Broken into Exam section and then again into RAIL/ Text sections.# -A focused breakdown of all 19 theorists -Exam timings and tips -Every frame around a power point slide is colour-coded to match the area of RAIL/ CONTEXTS it belongs to -Each section starts with a glossary of 'need-to-know- terms. -Throughout the guide there are ‘Application Stations’ where students may be prompted to do a; quiz, draft or continue a response I have written/ plan questions or summarise what they have covered. -Colour-coded exemplars written by me -A fun and engaging delivery of content with subject specific memes and humour to keep morale up during revision. **The guide is easily adaptable should you teach different texts and includes links to videos, podcasts etc. needed to support learning. It makes a perfect companion to my power points if you purchase them, also. TOP TIP: Why not offer this as a reward as we do for students completing coursework on time and to MTG OR use to set weekly H/W tasks from to help with Mastery/ metacognition/ retained learning? ** This glossary for this guide is as follows: HOW TO USE THIS REVISION GUIDE- 3 EXAM BREAKDOWN- 4 RAIL TERMS- 5-6 CONTEXTS- 7 WRITE IN A PETER STRUCTURE- 8 THE 19 THEORETICAL FRAMEWORKS EXPLAINED- 9-18 **SECTION A: ** ADVERTISING: ‘TIDE’ (ML= 20-25 & REP=40-44) ‘KISS OF THE VAMPIRE’ (ML= 26-33 & REP=45-48) ‘SUPER.HUMAN’ (ML= 34-39 & REP=49-53) MUSIC VIDEOS: ‘UNDERDOG’ AND ‘RIPTIDE’ (ML= 54-62 & REP=63-72) NEWSPAPERS: ‘DAILY MIRROR’ AND ‘THE TIMES’ (ML= 73-84 &REP=85-95) FILM: ‘BLACK PANTHER’ & ‘I, DANIEL BLAKE’ (IND=97-117) ADVERTISING: ‘TIDE’ (AUD=118-123) ‘SUPER.HUMAN’ (AUD=124-129) GAMING: ‘ASSASSINS CREED’ FRANCHISE (IND= 130-143 & AUD=144-150) RADIO: ‘WOMAN’S HOUR’ (IND=151-162 & AUD=163-165) NEWSPAPERS: ‘DAILY MIRROR’ AND ‘THE TIMES’ (IND= 166-178 & AUD=179-183) FINAL THOUGHTS- 184 NOTE: I am following EDUQAS Teaching Model 1 in my teaching/ SOW and my school operates a two year A-Level; AS (YEAR 12) AND A2 (YEAR 13).

TOP TIP: This can be provided to students as a cheat sheet for exams, for revision or a reward for completing a unit with 100%H/W. The resource can easily be adapted should you do different texts or relevant sldies printed/ those that are not discounted. It is also of use for AS students who may wish to stretch themselves and use the whole 19 as opposed to the 9. NOTE: I am following EDUQAS Teaching Model 1 in my teaching/ SOW and my school operates a two year A-Level; AS (YEAR 12) AND A2 (YEAR 13). Moreover, some of the tasks in lesson and for H/W are dependent upon owning the EDUQAS AS/ A2 Revision Guides/ Mark Dixon’s ‘Media Theory for A Level: The Essential Revision Guide’ If you liked these resources and found them useful, it would be greatly appreciated if you could feedback or rate my resource as I am constantly trying to adapt and refine my resources to improve the learning of my students. Many thanks.
