A tried and tested scheme of work for the synoptic OCR Media Studies A Level specification. I’ve had some fantastic results in the past, with some students attaining 27/30 for their synoptic essays. This scheme focuses on Stranger Things and The Killing however, it is easily adaptable for any of the options.
I have offered a range of resources both on the OCR Facebook group and on here, all of which are of excellent and detailed quality.

These summary sheets have been invaluable for my Year 13s - they absolutely love these as it essentially condenses the whole course into a few handy sheets. I print these out on glossy paper so they know these are important.
Attached also is my final lesson of my news scheme in which students complete a selection of activities, including creating a one-page revision sheet (also attached). This lesson includes all the info that students might need about The Guardian or Daily Mail.
I am currently working on sheets that breakdown how to apply and evaluate media theories for Alevel so as soon as these are complete, I will post here too!
Enjoy :)
