This free resource includes an A3 poster, an editable PowerPoint explainer for the 'CIA' acronym and an auto-rotating version of the slides too. This acronym works very well for structuring deep, detailed and specific analysis in extended responses - given the more explicit focus on these areas in the new specifications.
C: Context
I: Ideology
A: Audience
Now you can 'train' your students to be 'CIA agents' (don't laugh!)
If they think they are finished, ask them, 'have you been enough of a detective? Have you got to the bottom of the representation?'

The main task asks students to place their contemporary advert next to the 1956 set text and proceed to identify the juxtapositions in representation and ideology present between the two. Students annotate the adverts using the worksheet provided and then are set a homework to write up a 500 word reflective analysis on the relationship between context and representations.

This set of 3 lessons enables students to produce a contemporary 'Quality Street' advert that contrasts against the representations and ideologies present in the 1956 set text. Students work on Photoshop to produce their final product. There are a range of Assessment for Learning (AfL) strategies embedded within the lessons to support with the successful completion of the contemporary adverts.
Working to a set brief in this way prepares students for Component 3: NEA which they will undertake in the summer term.

Lesson 11 is focused around initial ideas generation linked to 'non-negotiables' the students identify (the differences to the 1956 advert their contemporary product must contain). Central to this task is an A3 worksheet which places these non-negotiables in the middle and provides space around the outside for 4 different advert designs. An exemplar final outcome is given in order to establish the success criteria students are aiming for by the end of the lesson.

After recapping the contexts for 'This Girl Can' and the concept of active audiences, lesson 9 encourages students to consider the impact an audience can have on products and the institutions that produce them. Students investigate how intertextuality, direct address and montage in the music videos for Taylor Swift 'Bad Blood' and Pharrell Williams 'Freedom' relate to active audiences before undertaking research into the marketing campaign for 'This Girl Can'. Using the help sheet, students explore how 'Thie Girl Can' engages an active audience.

Lesson 8 ensures students are thinking critically about the "invisibility" of ideology in order to challenge their own assumptions about modern life.
Then, in the same vein as lessons 4 and 7, students analyse the representation of gender in a 2000s advert (Levi's 'Odyssey') in order to identify the social ideologies present before comparing and contrasting this to an audio/visual advert for 'This Girl Can'. This lesson also includes a worksheet resource which breaks down the different media language areas into more accessible chunks when analysing a moving image media product.
