GCSE Citizenship-The Press Bundle

2 Resources
This Bundle includes two lessons which aim to meet the requirements of teaching about the press and media as part of Theme D, on the Edexcel specification. In response to the 2022 GCSE Edexcel paper, upon which many candidates struggled to explain the role of a press regulator, this series serves to bridge these gaps in learning. The first lesson challenges students to debate and think critically about the role of the press and the pros and cons of censorship in modern society, with respect to freedom of expression and balancing rights. The second lesson allows students to explore the role of the press regulators and the extent to which they support/restrict press freedom in the UK. Students learn about each press regulator and the capacity in which they regulate the press and how well they balance the rights of their members with an individuals’ right to privacy. Both lesson includes current data and important case studies that encourage students to deepen their understanding of press freedom, censorship and the right to privacy. This series will teach students how to forge links between the theme D requirements surrounding the press and also topics from Themes A to C, so as to deepen and secure their understanding and skills. PowerPoint and resources are in comic sans, with size 14 font and slides have a yellow background to ensure that it is SEN inclusive. The lesson includes assessment for learning opportunities and has teacher notes and suggested timings. The Lesson and resources are non-specialist friendly and ideal for Early Careers Teachers teaching Citizenship for the first time.
