COMPONENT 1, SEC B MASTERY EDUQAS GCSE SHEET: 'THE ARCHERS' (AUD)

This resource is part of a set of resources designed to assess students and revisit content at various points throughout the entirety of theIr GCSE course. Each resource comprises of a task or mock questions taken from the SAMS. The resource includes:

-Stepped SAMS AUD questions
-Banded terms glossary (3-5) for stretch and challenge
-Marking criteria with indicative content

• differentiated help sheets with key slides from my power points to aide students as a last result (they are encouraged not to use these if possible).
  -The start of an exemplar response with scaffolding broken down in a PEE structure
  -Exam timings reminder

1. (a) Which radio station broadcasts The Archers? [1]
   (b) Identify one audience for The Archers. [1]
   © Explain two ways in which The Archers is aimed at the audience you have identified. [4]
   In Question 4(d), you will be rewarded for drawing together knowledge and understanding from across your full course of study, including different areas of the theoretical framework and media contexts.
   (d) Explain why audiences listen to The Archers. Refer to the Uses and Gratifications theory in your response. [12]

I have trialled these packs and my students love them commenting that they are great for revision and revisiting content in a supported way, that they may not have visited in a year or so. I have set these as cover, revision in private study, as a whole lesson task or for H/W. Content often stretches on these sheets from between 2-3 lessons and I usually get my students to swap work when complete with a peer for peer assessment.

The resource is self-contained and can be issued with no other prompt.

NOTE: I am following EDUQAS Teaching Model 1 in my teaching/ SOW and my school is only providing Media Studies at A-Level, as a Two- Year Course. 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.
