**Full pack** Everything you need to enable students to write a high quality piece of description using a film clip as stimulus. You may wish to purchase the DVD of Bram Stoker's Dracula (it's a couple of pounds on Amazon). It is an 18 Certificate, but this particular clip is fine. This clip is also available on youtube, but is not fantastic quality: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eFAu3vT5wUg Do check your criteria as you may be doing a different course to me so mark scheme included may need adjusting a little to your needs.

The focus is on analysing an advertising campaign. - Students will study a range of engaging media texts (provided) -Students will be able to learn, understand and apply some basic theories of audience. -Students will study an advertising campaign and be able to analyse texts using the key concepts. - Students will enjoy discussion and debate about a topical issue.

Mark schemes are included which have been closely adapted from the AQA scheme but can easily be adjusted to OCR or WJEC as skills the same for this aspect of media studies. Suitable for AS students and able GCSE students. Also, excellent for revision of analysing media texts. So, what's the subject? I decided to capitalize on one of the most interesting events of modern times- the unlikely election of a certain Donald Trump to enthuse my media students. One of Trump's strengths during a protracted promotional campaign leading up to the election was an EXCELLENT media team who produced a number of exceedingly clever media texts to present Trump as the hero waiting in the wings to save the nation! Obviously, Trump is a contentious issue and a few students got quite sniffy initially but the focus is on the SUCCESS OF THIS MEDIA CAMPAIGN not Trump himself and once made clear, the students really enjoyed the lessons on this. Great debates ensued among my students- although many dislike Trump it is without question that the American media were against him and you need to start from this perspective. It is so interesting. There is a fun video which sums up (1) the media bias (2) how Trump crept into power and (3) how unexpected the victory was considering he began as a total joke at the following link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQgq_R13V3s shorter version here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qzl8xjkgXCo The unit also involves analysing Hillary Clinton's ads as a basis for comparison.

This seller donates to charity. This will be useful for: students to get through whole narrative quickly , learn key quotes and understand Scrooge's character. Designed for teachers very short on time. Great way for lower ability reluctant students to understand the text. Totally self-contained work book to teach this novella- this work can be completed even if you don’t have the actual text and no other resources are needed. Students work through a series of tasks which generates a GCSE essay which can then be typed up- great for teaching skills and revision. This is an ideal work book for weaker students at Key Stage 4, or for more able younger students. Also, fantastic if you are short on time. Focus: How does Scrooge change throughout the novel?
