Criminology Level 3(New Spec)WJEC/Eduqas Unit 1 Changing Awareness of Crime-AC1.4 Lesson&Booklet

Unit 1 Changing Awareness of Crime
Learning Outcome 1: Understand how crime reporting affects the public perception of criminality
Assessment Criteria 1.4: Media Representation of Crime

The lessons includes the following LO:

• Identify the different forms of media that report crime(E-C) Grade)
• Explain a variety of methods that the media use to represent crime (C-B Grade)
• Describe media representations of crime using examples to support your points (B-A Grade)

Please find attached Level 3 resources for the new specification of Criminology. These resources have been created for post-16 students who are studying the Applied Certificate and Diploma in Criminology. They are suitable for both WJEC and Eduqas exam boards.

The resources attached include both a teacher power point presentation and a student activity booklet. This means that students can follow the lesson easily and the assessment criteria which they are completing is clear. I have designed these booklets so that students feel more guided when it comes to the formal controlled assessment. They can follow the subject material and extend their own learning through the key term homeworks and case studies.

The student booklet includes: missing word activity/ written tasks/ similar & different media observation tasks/homework.

I have linked the lessons to the “Mr and Mrs S” Exam Board Assignment Brief but you can tailor the lessons to any brief that you have selected for your students. Remember that students must acknowledge the assignment brief but not make it all about the assignment brief. They must focus on meeting the assessment criteria set out by the exam board.

Enjoy!
