LOOKING FOR INDIVIDUAL GRADES FOR EACH SECTION OF THE EXAM/COURSEWORK SO YOU KNOW MORE SPECIFICALLY WHERE TO FOCUS YOUR INTERVENTIONS? I ALSO HAVE A TRACKER AVAILABLE WHICH PROVIDES YOU WITH THIS FOR ONLY £2 MORE. PLEASE SEARCH FOR ‘FULL BREAKDOWN EDUQAS 9-1 TRACKING’
Designed on Microsoft excel, this tracking document will help you keep track of the progress of your KS4 Media Studies students, with specific columns for section of each exam paper and for individual coursework marks.
The sheet will auto calculate total marks on each unit - which will be converted into a 9-1 grade as well as totalling overall marks, which then feed into an overall grade prediction.
The predictions have been calculated using last year’s WJEC grade boundaries and the % of marks needed for each grade on each unit. This % mark has then been converted for the new weighting on the new spec. All you need to do is add the pupil information and the marks they have achieved for each question and the rest is done for you.
Please be aware that these are not official grade boundaries and it is guess work at this stage. I have tried to make my predictions as reliable as possible by converting from old spec boundaries and converting % etc, but cannot guarantee that these will be the exact boundaries provided by the board.
I have also created similar spreadsheets for AQA GCSE English 9-1, old spec AQA Media GCSE and Media A level too; check out my shop for these. A Level will too be added in due course - subscribe for notifications!
Any problems with this or formula doing strange things, please contact me on steel123@hotmail.com
Includes a column for suggested QA focuses for the year. Editable if you have selected different films from those on the plan.
Currently working on this for teaching from SEPTEMBER. Will be uploading MTPs and lesson packs and when they’re complete - subscribe for updates.
Lessons guiding students through analysis of existing teen dramas (need access to clips on youtube/Netflix) to then storyboarding their own. Looks at narrative structure, character types etc with examples given for both. Doesn’t cover statement of aims. Probably span over 3 or 4 lessons.

As part of my suggested Long Term Plan for the GCSE Film Studies (9-1) course, i will be beginning the course with an introductory unit in which we explore many of the key elements of the course linked to the horror genre. This will then feed into component 3 in which students can produce an extract from a horror film. By including an introductory unit, students will be given opportunity to explore all of the key areas before being shown any of the set texts and so enable a deeper level of analysis when the films themselves are explored. Plus, the component 3 piece will be strengthened with a thorough exploration of the genre, leaving a greater amount of time to focus on planning, filming and editing the coursework itself.
This is lesson one from the scheme of work. Lessons are being planned daily throughout the summer break so please return for updates.
Accompanying Long Term Plan and Medium Term plan available through my shop.
Any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask.

Part of the introductory scheme covering basic elements of film/media analysis using horror extracts as stimuli. This feeds into component 3 and would support learning for any Media or Film Studies course. Also adaptable for KS3 (though extracts would need to be changed for something more age appropriate).

This is a tracker I developed which auto calculates the grades for every assessment year 12 and 13 do throughout the year using actual grade boundaries from the June 2019 examination series. It includes mock exams and overall grades too. Headers can easily be changed if different texts have been chosen.
Hopefully this will save you a lot of time!
