2022 A2 ADVANCED INFO MEDIA STUDIES ESSENTIALS: EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO PASS 'THE BRIDGE' (SEC A,REP)

This Quad provides an in-depth revision quad that can be delivered in class, online or revised independently by students. It is one of many resources I have designed to aid students in the final weeks before their exam/ the advanced information structure of the 2022 exams.The quad covers a variety of things such as:

-Visual breakdowns of tricky Representation and contexts debates/ terms
-Clear sectioned off headings that covered all of the follwoing bullet points:

The way events, issues, individuals (including self representation) and social groups (including social identity) are represented through processes of selection and combination

• The effect of social and cultural context on representations

• How and why stereotypes can be used positively and negatively

• How and why particular social groups, in a national and global context, may be underrepresented or misrepresented

• How media representations convey values, attitudes and beliefs about the world and how these may be systematically reinforced across a wide range of media representations

• How audiences respond to and interpret media representations

• The way in which representations make claims about realism

• The impact of industry contexts on the choices media producers make about how to represent events, issues, individuals and social groups

• The effect of historical context on representations

• How representations may invoke discourses and ideologies and position audiences

• How audience responses to and interpretations of media representations reflect social, cultural and historical circumstances and interpret them

-How to best deploy the named representation theories (how, when and where)
-Additional theories to stretch learners
-A visual thought process as to how I would attack thsi section of the exam
-A glut of representation content needed for ‘The Bridge’ in the 2022 Advanced Information
-Predictions as to what may come up as well as an adapted representation 15 marker I think is likely to come up in the Summer

And much, much more.

NOTE: I am following EDUQAS Teaching Model 1 in my teaching/ SOW and my school is providing Media Studies as an AS/A2 . Moreover, each lesson has a task whereby students RAG (Red, Amber, Green) what they have learnt in the lesson against an Examiner checklist (Differentiation, peer assessment).

If you liked this resource and found it 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.
