MERRY QUIZMAS 2023 ONWARDS (AS EDITION)

MERRY QUIZMAS! Looking for that perfect end of term AFL lesson whilst bringing the festive fun? Well look no further. A Christmas quiz that assesses students on all things Christmas and Component 1. The lesson can be taught as a Double or a Triple. The Power Point narrative goes as follows:

We have a serious situation. Santa Claus has been kringlenapped and Stuart Hall, being the all-round great guy/ Daddy of Media studies that he is, has stepped in to fill Santa’s boots.

However, when he arrived at the North Pole, he decided to mediate Christmas in a different way. To say, the elves were not happy would be a misrepresentation of the truth-they have consequently gone on strike!

As if that wasn’t bad enough, Hall has now also been taken and a ransom note left asking for a large quantity of candy canes for his safe return. However, before he was taken, he contacted me on speed dial and asked me to help find him some recruits to help deliver Christmas and media studies to the world.

Therefore, I hereby deputise you all as my little helpers.

Your investigation: Deconstruct Hall’s ways of doing things so that we can locate him and save Christmas! The group that finds him first will be handsomely rewarded by Santa… when we find him.

Good luck all! I hope you CANE it!

This resource contains printable activity slides and refernce to a plethora of Comp 1 texts. DISCLAIMER! One of the tasks is based on Alicia Keys ‘Underdog’. It can easily be changed to another set text. In addition, where it says (TEACHER NAME) add your name/ a colleagues, to also be part of the adventure.

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’

If you liked these resources and found them 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.
