Whilst I have embedded a variety of videos, due to blocks on school accounts/ restrictions, if they do not **work, please see the links in the notes section of each slide.

The power point also includes theoretical framework + additional theorist slides at the end of the power point to aid differentiation/ scaffolding etc.

NOTE: I am following EDUQAS Teaching Model 1 in my teaching/ SOW and my school operates a two year A-Level; AS (YEAR 12) AND A2 (YEAR 13).
Moreover, some of the tasks in lesson and for H/W are dependent upon owning the EDUQAS AS/ A2 Revision Guides/ Mark Dixon’s ‘Media Theory for A Level: The Essential Revision Guide’
