Introduction to the appeal of magazines - Media Studies

As we start the Eduqas GCSE Media Studies course in Year 9 - this is a simple introduction to the appeal of magazines. As most young people don’t buy or read magazines this helped them understand that although they’re not buying them, they are a still popular media product in the UK.

The lesson includes a Scavenger Hunt. We provided them with a magazine in each group, preferably magazines of similar size.

The lesson has elements of numeracy also as they have to work out percentages.
