This is a SWOT analysis (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats) from when I was undertaking my degree in journalism. I asked pupils to use this model to write their own SWOT for a media publication. This could be used as an exemplar Dist* answer.

Full walk-through with images to help for instruction. Example magazine pages in the original inDesign file. Video and image clips included (I only own the video). Great way to get your A-Level class using this media type. I am a former magazine journalist - used this with my classes for Distinction level evaluations.

Objective: To identify the different features of an effective SWOT analysis. To revise concept art and prototypes. Outcomes: To apply our knowledge of development tools to assess the effectiveness of SWOT. Literacy objective: Effect/Affect Pupils start by discussing the advantages of a SWOT analysis and rank how confident they are in their books 1-10. Then pupils read through the model SWOT and highlight key points. This scaffolds for their 20 mark question as they are discussing and finding examples. Lesson then goes through marking criteria e.g. distinction/pass/merit answers. Pupils then have 10 minutes to write - timer included. Another confidence checker after they have written their essay - showing immediate progress. Revision of concept art and prototypes with a clip also (YouTube - embedded). Then plenary to assess what has been understood this lesson.

This lesson goes over the target audience profiles in KS5 Media (CTECH level 3). Including demographics (physical) and psychographics (mental) audience profiles. I printed off magazine covers and film posters to engage the pupils at the start and to gauge what pupils already know about target audience. Then going over target audience categories. Progress - then going back to the notes made in the starter - this could be purple penned. Then it goes through two adverts (Tesco and Volkswagen) for pupils to decide which audience they are targeted at. Then pupils are given two products to research in groups and they will present to the class which audience profiles the products have and how they attract these. Homework: to find the 'user types' of psychographics.
