A lesson on sub-genres within TV Drama with an accompanying worksheet. I asked more able students to apply the theory of binary oppositions to the images and gained an Outstanding grading for this lesson,
<p>Three templates tailor made to each of the Learning Aims.<br />
Enlarge these to A3 and give to the students to make their own notes on each of the three Learning Aims under relevant categories.<br />
I had 100% success rate with exam results following on from using these templates.</p>
<p>This is for a student’s first attempt at media textual analysis. I’m currently teaching a core Media curriculum to Year 9, before they select their final options, and so this introduces them to denotation and connotation after studying the four key concepts (Language/Institutions/Audience?Representation).<br />
This is at least two lessons worth of work: the setting up of the task, the writing of it and the marking. The AQA criteria has been used from the new spec and could be used for peer / self-assessment. There are also some ideas and pointers as to what to look for in the printed adverts.</p>
