Representations in Media Studies
This visually-engaging and informative resource is perfect for helping Media students to understand the key concept of Representations. Through a range of different and interesting tasks , students learn to identify and understand representations at work in the media, and become familiar with key terms such as 'stereotyping; and 'aspects of character.'
The learning journey is progressive and step-by-step, allowing for bite-size chunks of progress to be evident and regular intervals. Students learn to:
- Understand that everyone sees images and ideas differently;
- Define the key terms 'representations' and 'stereotypes;'
- Understand some common representations and stereotypes;
- Analyse the reasoning and effects of different representations;
- Analyse how different characters are represented in a key media text.
The key media text that I have chosen for the main analysis task is the movie 'Warrior' (2011) starring Tom Hardy, but the resources can be easily adapted to suit different media texts should you choose to.

A Different Sort of Normal - Two Whole Class Reading Sessions!
This resource pack of 2 sequenced whole class reading sessions aims to develop children’s comprehension skills whilst learning about autism spectrum disorder. Children read key extracts from the text ‘A Different Sort of Normal’ by Abigail Balfe in two stages (both hyperlinked and provided as PDFs).
Each reading is followed by a series of activities aiming to develop children’s retrieval, explanation, inference, prediction and summarising skills. It also contains a vocabulary check immediately after the extract is read to clarify any unfamiliar/ difficult language.
The tasks are comprised of quick-check questions, solo thinking, pair/ group discussions and deeper thinking activities.
The sessions are best suited for children in years 3-5, although with minor adaptations it could feasibly be used with slightly younger and older year groups.

Stone Cold - Homelessness!
This engaging and informative lesson helps students to understand one of the key themes running throughout Robert Swindells’ Stone Cold: Homelessness. Students use key information, research skills, and extracts from the text to understand how and why homelessness happens and who it can affect, before composing their own arguments about how they believe homelessness should be tackled.
The lesson follows a step-by-step learning journey, in which children learn through:
- Considering their own views towards homeless people, and thinking about how these were formed;
- Researching how and why people become homeless, and who it affects ;
- Reading an extract from 'Stone Cold' in which Link describes a night on the streets, to better empathise with those who are sleeping rough;
- Answering comprehension questions about the extract, considering the writer's use of language and retrieving textual information to back up their ideas;
- Forming their own arguments about how homelessness should be tackled, using their own research and the information gathered throughout the lesson;
- Peer assessing each other's learning attempts;
Included is:
- Whole lesson PowerPoint - colourful and comprehensive;
- Research Template;
- Selected extracts - Stone Cold - Link's description of a night on the streets;
- Writing to Argue Helpsheet;
- Comprehensive lesson plan.
There are also opportunities for group learning, speaking and listening, peer assessment, and whole class discussion. I originally used these resources with a year 8 class, however colleagues have used them for between years 5 and 9 with minimal adaptations. Please note that internet access/ use of research mechanisms is required for the introduction task.

Humility - Collective Worship!
This fun and original collective worship session aims to assist children in understanding what humility is, and the value of remaining humble. In a Christian context, children understand that it is God’s wish for all people to remain humble, and to not fall into the pitfalls that arrogance, pride, and vanity can bring.

The slides are visually engaging and well-presented, and the subject matter is tailored to the interests and needs of young people.
