<p>This TRIPLE lesson begins the Music video unit of Component 2, Section B. This resource has been specifically designed to be taught as an intro lesson to music videos and can be used in correspondence with any of the set text videos your centre has chosen. This lesson makes little to no mention of the set texts etc.</p> <p>This lesson focuses on:</p> <p>-Exam breakdown of Section B and timings with example paper.<br /> -STARTER: What is the point of music videos? Consider this from the perspective of the audience, artist and their record label.<br /> -A brief history of the music video and it’s importance to the music industry.<br /> -The three types of music video; Narrative, Performative and experimental with an analysis of two music videos and application of these new terms.<br /> -A help slide on everything that falls under Media Language in the exam.<br /> -A discovery learning task whereby students watch and use information to define ALL the genres/ sub-genres covered in the EDUQAS exam (Pop, R&amp;B, Hip Hop, Country and Grime). Each genre/ sub-genre has an accompanying video, should you wish to embed learning further with a visual example.<br /> -Students break down unseen frames against RESISTS model with exemplar and scaffols provided.<br /> -Support slide detailing the key codes and conventions of music videos.<br /> -An in-depth video on the historical relevance of music videos and the changing importance of them.</p> <p>IMPORTANT! Please consult slide one of the power point which details the colour-coding system of the slides to aid students with their knowledge of RAIL (Representation, Audience, Industry and Media Language) as well as CHEPS (Cultural, Historical, Economic, Political and Social contexts).</p> <p>NOTE: I am following EDUQAS Teaching Model 1 in my teaching/ SOW and my school is only providing Media Studies at GCSEl, as a three-year Course. Moreover, some of the tasks in lesson and for H/W are dependent upon owning the EDUQAS GCSE Revision Guide from Illumination Publishing.</p> <p>This resource includes printable work sheets within the power point which have been section off at the end of the power point to aid with your printing/ convienience.</p> <p>I DO NOT OWN THE COPYRIGHT TO VIDEOS THAT ARE EMBEDDED WITHIN THE POWER POINT AND ANY MENTION OF ‘FROM THE FACT SHEET’ IS COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL FROM THE EDUQAS FACT SHEETS)</p> <p>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.

<p>This 89 page Revision Guide covers all of the COMPONENT 1, SEC A and B texts in the GCSE EDUQAS Exam. The guide has been a year and a half in the making and consists of insights I have found teaching the EDUQAS specification this year. Moreover, the guide was created based on student feedback, areas of weakness I observed from that of my students during lessons/ mocks and content designed to stretch learners above the Grade 7.</p> <p>The guide is split into 3 easy to navigate sections:</p> <p>User Guide, Exam Breakdown, All 4 Rail terms broken down in a nutshell, all 5 contexts explained and ideal timings for the exam.<br /> All Section A forms; ‘Quality Street’, ‘This Girl Can’, ‘TMWTGG’ , ‘Spectre’, ‘Pride’, ‘GQ’, ‘The Sun’ and ‘The Guardian’.</p> <p>All section B forms including ‘Spectre’, ‘The Sun’, ‘Pokemon Go’ and ‘The Archers’</p> <p>The guide includes the following:<br /> -A* Exemplars written by me based upon EDUQAS SAM’s questions, questions I have written myself and key areas of concern raised by the survey and students.<br /> -A coloured key consisting of two boxes; Green- TOP TIP FOR THE EXAM/ EXAMINER and Blue- KILLER FACT OR THEORY FOR THE EXAM and a glossary for each form and each assigned RAIL Term.<br /> -For those of you who have purchased my resources from the TES before or are familiar with my Power Points, the guide is a vibrant and visual revision aide. The guide consists of slides/ resources taken from my Power Points and lessons.<br /> -Each Form is studied in depth and against all of RAIL, based upon what Section/ Sections of the exam it pops up in. For example, the Newspaper Unit appears in SEC A (Media Language and Representation) and SEC B (AUD and IND).<br /> -There are a variety of tasks assigned to each form (which can be done in the boxes/pages provided in the booklet) which prompt students to apply newfound knowledge as well as ass retained knowledge of terms or theories they have learned about earlier in the guide. These tasks range from writing PEE exemplars based on an Exam style question to brainstorms, opinion/debate tasks and key considerations for the exam. These are ideal for H/W or Revision tasks and can be linked to tasks in class.<br /> -An in-depth glossary at the start of each form on all of the RAIL elements. This changes each time, for each form.</p> <p>PLEASE CONSULT THE SAMPLE PAGES IF UNSURE WHETHER OR NOT THIS RESOURCE IS FOR YOU.</p> <p>Read less</p>

<p>I have comprised the whole COMPONENT 1 SET TEXTS information onto one killer slide for all SEC A texts and two for SEC B texts (one with IND/AUD info, the other a deconstruction of the accompanying website). In total there are 21 slides ( How to use/ RAIL for each of the following):</p> <p>-‘QUALITY STREET’ (MEDIA LANG, CONTEXTS, REP)<br /> -‘THIS GIRL CAN’ (MEDIA LANG, CONTEXTS, REP)<br /> -‘THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN GUN’ (MEDIA LANG, CONTEXTS, REP)<br /> -‘NO TIME TO DIE’ AND SECOND WEBSITE SLIDE (MEDIA LANG, CONTEXTS, REP AND INDUSTRY)<br /> -‘VOGUE’ (MEDIA LANG, CONTEXTS, REP)<br /> -‘GQ’ (MEDIA LANG, CONTEXTS, REP)<br /> -‘THE GUARDIAN’ (MEDIA LANG, CONTEXTS, REP)<br /> -‘THE SUN’ AND WEBSITE SLIDE (MEDIA LANG, CONTEXTS, REP, AUDIENCE AND INDUSTRY)</p> <ul> <li>‘THE ARCHERS’ AND SECOND WEBSITE SLIDE (AUDIENCE AND INDUSTRY)</li> <li>‘FORTNITE’ AND SECOND WEBSITE SLIDE (AUDIENCE AND INDUSTRY)</li> <li></li> </ul> <p>WITH HELP SLIDES/ HOW TO USE SLIDES THIS RESOURCE, THERE ARE 21 SLIDES IN TOTAL. BOUGHT TOGETHER AS A SET THIS SAVES YOU £8 WHICH EQUATES TO £1 PER SLIDE.</p> <p>Each slide comprises of :</p> <p>-Colour-coded (REP- pink/ AUD- yellow/ IND- green/ Media Language- blue/ CONTEXTS- orange)</p> <p>-Key terms are bolded/ placed in red.</p> <p>-Theory application</p> <p>-Screengrabs and visual analysis</p> <p>-Reminders for the exam</p> <p>TOP TIP: This can be provided to students as a cheat sheet for exams, for revision or a reward for completing a unit with 100%H/W. The resource can easily be adapted should you do different texts or relevant slides printed/ those that are not discounted.</p>

<p>This 74 page Revision Guide covers all of the COMPONENT 1, SEC A and B texts. The guide has been a year in the making and consists of insights I have found teaching the EDUQAS specification this year, is structured on a survey conducted by 30 teachers teaching the EDUQAS course around the country (what they would like from a revision guide/ areas of weakness in their students) and on that of my own students suggestions based upon their key worries. The guide is split into 3 easy to navigate sections:</p> <ol> <li>User Guide, Exam Breakdown, All 4 Rail terms broken down in a nutshell, all 5 contexts explained and ideal timings for the exam.</li> <li>All Section A forms; ‘Tide’, ‘Kiss of the Vampire’, ‘WaterAid’ , ‘The TImes’, ‘Daily Mirror’, ‘Dream’ and ‘Riptide’.</li> <li>All section B forms (Including ‘Tide’, ‘Kiss of the Vampire’ and ‘WaterAid’ (AUD) and ‘The Times’ and ‘Daily MIrror’ (AUD &amp; IND), ‘Straight Outta Compton’, ‘I, Daniel Blake’, ‘Assassin’s Creed III: Liberation’ and 'Late NIght Woman’s Hour’<br /> The guide includes the following:<br /> -A* Exemplars written by me based upon EDUQAS SAM’s questions, questions I have written myself and key areas of concern raised by the survey and students.<br /> -A coloured key consisting of two boxes; Green- TOP TIP FOR THE EXAM/ EXAMINER and Blue- KILLER FACT OR THEORY FOR THE EXAM and a glossary for each form and each assigned RAIL Term.<br /> -For those of you who have purchased my resources from the TES before or are familiar with my Power Points, the guide is a vibrant and visual revision aide.

These are ideal for H/W or Revision tasks and can be linked to tasks in class.<br /> PLEASE CONSULT THE SAMPLE PAGES IF UNSURE WHETHER OR NOT THIS RESOURCE IS FOR YOU.<br /> **IMPORTANT! I am teaching the two-year linear EDUQAS A-Level. However, this can also be used and adapted as you see fit for AS teaching in Year 12. Moreover, I am teaching ‘Riptide’ by Vance Joy and ‘Dream’ in the Music Video UNit and NOT ‘Formation’ by Beyonce. There is however, much cross over between the two videos and the guide can easily be altered dependent on your preferences.</li> </ol>

<p>Of all the resources I have created, this is the one that I am most proud of. The completion of this guide concludes a labour of love that has taken me 5 months to compile, collate and write.</p> <p>For those of you have purchased the earlier iteration of this guide, ther eis much that is familiar with several enhancements that have been based upon student feedback and developments in the course. The guide is:</p> <p>-Broken into Exam section and then again into RAIL/ Text sections.#<br /> -A focused breakdown of all 19 theorists<br /> -Exam timings and tips<br /> -Every frame around a power point slide is colour-coded to match the area of RAIL/ CONTEXTS it belongs to<br /> -Each section starts with a glossary of 'need-to-know- terms.<br /> -Throughout the guide there are ‘Application Stations’ where students may be prompted to do a; quiz, draft or continue a response I have written/ plan questions or summarise what they have covered.<br /> -Colour-coded exemplars written by me<br /> -A fun and engaging delivery of content with subject specific memes and humour to keep morale up during revision.</p> <p>**The guide is easily adaptable should you teach different texts and includes links to videos, podcasts etc. needed to support learning. It makes a perfect companion to my power points if you purchase them, also.</p> <p>TOP TIP: Why not offer this as a reward as we do for students completing coursework on time and to MTG OR use to set weekly H/W tasks from to help with Mastery/ metacognition/ retained learning?</p> <p>**<br /> This glossary for this guide is as follows:</p> <p>HOW TO USE THIS REVISION GUIDE- 3<br /> EXAM BREAKDOWN- 4<br /> RAIL TERMS- 5-6<br /> CONTEXTS- 7<br /> WRITE IN A PETER STRUCTURE- 8<br /> THE 19 THEORETICAL FRAMEWORKS EXPLAINED- 9-18</p> <p>**SECTION A:<br /> **<br /> ADVERTISING:</p> <p>‘TIDE’ (ML= 20-25 &amp; REP=40-44)<br /> ‘KISS OF THE VAMPIRE’ (ML= 26-33 &amp; REP=45-48)<br /> ‘SUPER.HUMAN’ (ML= 34-39 &amp; REP=49-53)</p> <p>MUSIC VIDEOS:</p> <p>‘UNDERDOG’ AND ‘RIPTIDE’ (ML= 54-62 &amp; REP=63-72)</p> <p>NEWSPAPERS:</p> <p>‘DAILY MIRROR’ AND ‘THE TIMES’ (ML= 73-84 &amp;REP=85-95)</p> <p>FILM:<br /> ‘BLACK PANTHER’ &amp; ‘I, DANIEL BLAKE’ (IND=97-117)</p> <p>ADVERTISING:</p> <p>‘TIDE’ (AUD=118-123)<br /> ‘SUPER.HUMAN’ (AUD=124-129)</p> <p>GAMING:</p> <p>‘ASSASSINS CREED’ FRANCHISE (IND= 130-143 &amp; AUD=144-150)</p> <p>RADIO:<br /> ‘WOMAN’S HOUR’ (IND=151-162 &amp; AUD=163-165)</p> <p>NEWSPAPERS:</p> <p>‘DAILY MIRROR’ AND ‘THE TIMES’ (IND= 166-178 &amp; AUD=179-183)</p> <p>FINAL THOUGHTS- 184</p> <p>NOTE: I am following EDUQAS Teaching Model 1 in my teaching/ SOW and my school operates a two year A-Level; AS (YEAR 12) AND A2 (YEAR 13).<br /> Moreover, some of the tasks in lesson and for H/W are dependent upon owning the EDUQAS AS/ A2 Revision Guides/ Mark Dixon’s ‘Media Theory for A Level: The Essential Revision Guide’</p> <p>If you liked these resources and found them 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.

<p>This resource is part of a set of resources designed to assess students and revisit content at various points throughout the entirety of the A- Level Linear course. Each resource comprises of a task or mock questions taken from the SAMS. The resource includes:</p> <p>-2 Stepped questions/ key focus<br /> -Banded terms glossary (3-5) for stretch and challenge<br /> -Marking criteria with indicative content<br /> -2 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).</p> <p>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.</p> <p>The resource is self-contained and can be issued with no other prompt. This lesson focuses on the question:</p> <ol> <li>(A) Explain how national and global audiences can be reached through different media technologies and platforms. Refer to ‘Late Night Woman’s Hour’ to support your points. [8]</li> </ol> <p>(B) How do media organisations meet the needs of specialised audiences? Refer to ‘Late Night Woman’s Hour’ to support your points. [12]</p>

<p>‘THE BRIDGE’ Lesson 5-8= This Quad lesson is part of a tailored unit to help students understand the differences between writing for Component 1 and 2. I have designed the ‘Life on Mars’ and ‘The Bridge’ lessons separately so as to focus on all of RAIL (Representation, Audience, Industry and Language (Media) respectively. 'The Bridge lessons will follow exactly the same format as the ‘Life On Mars’ series of lessons and will include 4 Power Points, one on each of the RAIL terms. There will also be a lesson on Narrative and Post-Modernism where both forms will be combined into one lesson due the difficulty students often have with such concepts. It is my intention to teach my students the RAIL term for ‘Life On Mars’ and then 'The Bridge to aid their compare and contrasting. This Quad lesson features:</p> <p>-Examiner expectations<br /> -Context and reading material around characters/ their names to aid in student identification<br /> -A brief outline of the show and the various remakes of the show.<br /> -Iconography and Steve Campsall’s opinions<br /> -Teaching the students RESIST<br /> -Hybridity, intertextuality and genre/sub-genre<br /> -A break down of what Nordic Noir is and it’s conventions/ historical influence<br /> -Reoccurring themes<br /> -To what extent does ‘The Bridge’ adhere to the codes and conventions of the sub-genre of Nordic Noir? (ACTIVITY)<br /> -To what extent is Saga conventional of the Nordic Noir Tradition/ crime sub-genre? (ACTIVITY)<br /> -Revisiting key theory and looking at the 5 key theories the examine mentions with regards to Media Lang and TV (Differentiated, scaffolded group task)<br /> -Application of key examiner theories to that of an unseen clip/ writing task<br /> -Chiaroscuro lighting<br /> -Pathetic Fallacy<br /> -Symmetrical Framing<br /> -Diegetic and non-diegetic lighting<br /> -Positioning and Ideology<br /> -Analysis of ‘The Killing’ with that of ‘The Bridge’</p> <p>**THIS LESSON INCLUDES 2 H/W TASKS (ONE REQUIRES THE EDUQAS REVISION GUIDE/ THE OTHER I HAVE PROVIDED A SHEET FOR), ALL LINKS, PRINTABLE RESOURCES AND PRINTABLE RESOURCE SHEETS WITHIN THE POWER POINT</p> <p>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.
