Used as a fun end of year media project with Y9, though could be adapted for other ages/levels too as a post-SATS, activity week activity or similar. Pupils create their own muti-media advertising campaign for a set of trainers in three stages: planning, producing and evaluating.

Wall Display for R081 - PPT format ready to be cut out and displayed.

R082 - creating digital graphics wall display. In PPT format ready to be downloaded and cut out.

Mock NEA based on a magazine cover. I used this with year 10.

Small wall display for main Adobe (photoshop) keyboard shortcuts (windows). Really helpful reference point for pupils in the media classroom.

This is a resource I made for a summer project for a year 9 class that I have as a ‘transition’ class - they don’t yet do the KS4 qualification but are developing media skills ready to start the course next year. For the final half a term (just over) they are creating a music video for a fun end-of-year topic.

Weekly photography (10 weeks) challenge designed to be done either in school or as home learning as preparation for creative iMedia R090. Most weeks simply have a theme, some introduce composition rules or technical camera work, but the aim is primarily to get students used to taking photos.

Intro to media SoW for year 9 GCSE class (based on 3-year GCSE), covering key concepts such as representations, connotations/denotations, critical opinions and a practical assessment task.

Half a term’s series of lessons (all on PPT) including a practical task (similar to mock coursework, responding to a brief) and a written assessment in response to an unseen video clip.

A term’s SoW based on Propp and Todorov’s theories. Then moving on to learning about storyboarding and creating a story to storyboard that fits with the two theories. As an extension task pupils can then use a digital storyboarding software to create the storyboard digitally.
