A revision resource for A Level Media Studies focused on the WJEC Eduqas specification and the theorists listed in the exam board Teaching Guides.
I encourage my students to highlight the sections on the sheet as we cover the material. It also serves as a basis for checking knowledge later on. It is designed to fit on a single side of A4 paper, though it scales decently to A3 for displaying.
The two-page resource summarises each theoretical viewpoint briefly and organises the theorists according to the appropriate theoretical framework.
This resource pairs reasonably well with the A Level Media Studies - Exams Structure and Theories knowledge organiser available on the store.

The uptake of web-based lecture technologies for recording and delivering live lectures has increased markedly in recent years. Students have responded positively, and for many their use has transformed learning – freeing them up from rigid timetables by providing choice in lecture attendance and supporting learning by extending the lecture experience and enabling them to revisit key concepts and ideas in their own time. Less transformational has been the impact on teaching.
It is a commonly accepted maxim of education that independent learning and directed study accommodate individual learning styles and allow students to acquire basic facts and principles. Such practices are increasingly desirable in the current educational climate as they allow teaching staff to use valuable contact time to address higher cognitive skills. However, when there is a requirement for such learning to be practice-based it is not always possible to provide students with the necessary resources for independent study.
These excellent resources work perfectly in any media studies classroom! I have used these posters as wall displays, learning mats and hand outs when students are completing classwork/ coursework. My current head teacher commented on these resources stating they were “the best resources” he has seen in the classroom.
My students find them incredibly helpful during lessons especially during assessment/ coursework and revision work.

If these videos do not work for whatever reason, please let me know and I will manually add the YouTube links. This is the first time I’ve added anything on TES, so let me know if there’s anything which I can further explain or improve!
