2023-2024 UPDATED GCSE EDUQAS MEDIA, COMPONENT 1 REVISION GUIDE (ALL FORMS COVERED IN SECTION A & B)

This 126 page revision guide is designed for the EDUQAS GCSE Component 1 exam (2023-24). If you purchased my previous version of this guide, it has been completely overhauled with new content added and the document made more user friendly. More importantly, new texts which will be assessed in the 2024 exam season for the first time ‘No Time To Die’, ‘GQ’ (Raheem Sterling cover), have been added. This guide can be used for; independent revision purposes, as support alongside lessons (especially if delivering my purchased resources) or to set H/W tasks.

The guide includes:

-Colour coded to help students match terms with which part of RAIL/ Contexts it falls under.

-Top tips/ timings for the exam.

-Has a variety of Application Station tasks whereby students get the opportunity to apply what they have learned.

-Has a variety of exemplars with key terms/ contexts/ theories highlighted.

-An in-depth tariff bank on how to write every question in the exam from a 1 marker-25 marker, with whole or partial exemplars written by me.
