A scheme of work to support students’ learning on the Whiplash option for GCSE Film Studies. Includes all resouces and student booklet

This unit was designed for year 9 students to complete in English lessons before deciding on options subjects. It covers the key aspects of Eduqas GCSE Film Studies - analysing mise en scene, storyboarding, screenplay writing and evaluations. All resources and lesson plans are included. The Superhero film genre is used as focus.

To aid in revision, this booklet breaks down the specification into relevant areas of revision/exam questions for each section of the paper. Texts featured are Life on Mars & The Bridge, Woman’s Realm & Huck, Zoe Sugg and Attitude. Would also work as a bank to create mocks from. Hope this is useful! Similar for component 1 also available in my shop.

Here’s a booklet I’ve made for students to revise everything taught for components 1 and 2 of the new GCSE Media Studies specification for Eduqas. The booklet does not cover information itself, but rather a full list of possible exam questions for each area taken from wording in the specification, as well as some unseen comparison texts for each set text for component 1 section A. This would be helpful for students revising alongside the factsheets provided by the exam board and notes from class for component 2. This would also be invaluable for anyone wanting to make up their own set of full mock papers as there are many different variations available from the questions in here. There is an editable version for download as well as pdf for anyone who covered different texts for component 2 (It Crowd, Friends, Michael Jackson, Pharrell and Taylor Swift were the ones I taught). Hope this proves to be useful.

To provide students with feedback, includes model and targets

This booklet breaks the specification down into areas of revision and can be used to create mock papers easily. Students have a page or half page on which to plan responses to each question.

Includes two booklets - one for component 1 and one for component 2. In this I have broken down a variety of possible questions for each set text (opted for LOM and TB, Zoella and Attitude, Huck and WR for C2, Beyonce for C1). This could be used as a revision tool for students - colour coding their confidence in answering each and working on the questions they deem red or amber. Alternatively this could be very useful in creating mock papers using a combination of questions from the two booklets.

A resource i created to condense down information students needed to learn for the exam. The following texts are summarised: E.T IOTBS Whiplash District 9 Let the Right One In Submarine Contains information from factsheets, the textbook and elsewhere. A link to the original can be sent on request for editing purposes. Please comment if so.

Designed on Microsoft excel, this tracking document will help you keep track of the progress of your KS4 Media Studies students, with specific columns for section of each exam paper and for individual coursework marks. This NEW AND IMPROVED sheet will auto calculate total marks on each unit AS WELL AS ESTIMATED GRADES FOR EACH QUESTION - which will be converted into a 9-1 grade as well as totalling overall marks, which then feed into an overall grade prediction. The predictions have been calculated using last year's WJEC grade boundaries and the % of marks needed for each grade on each unit. This % mark has then been converted for the new weighting on the new spec. All you need to do is add the pupil information and the marks they have achieved for each question and the rest is done for you. Please be aware that these are not official grade boundaries and it is guess work at this stage. I have tried to make my predictions as reliable as possible by converting from old spec boundaries and converting % etc, but cannot guarantee that these will be the exact boundaries provided by the board. I have also created similar spreadsheets for AQA GCSE English 9-1, old spec AQA Media GCSE and Media A level too; check out my shop for these. A Level will too be added in due course - subscribe for notifications! For reference - I have mapped an old D grade to a new grade 3, a C to a 4, a B to a 5, an A to a 7 and an A* to an 8. Any problems with this or formula doing strange things, please contact me on steel123@hotmail.com

NEW TRACKER USING ACTUAL GRADE BOUNDARIES NOW AVAILABLE IN MY STORE This tracker, as with the others in my store, is designed to make the lives of your A level Media Studies teachers easier, whilst also providing an effective tool for promoting self evaluation in students. The formula is all in place, all you have to do is export the info from SIMS, copy and paste, then enter the marks for your mocks/assessed pieces as they’re done and as you complete each question, a predicted grade will be offered. When completing a component you will be given an overall predicted grade based on the % of marks that students has achieved. I have come to the final grade by calculating the % of marks students required in order to achieve each grade on the old spec (different for exam and coursework components). I have then reweighted this based on the number of marks available in the new spec. This, from what I can tell, is the best way of estimating grades on the new specification. As with all new specifications, this is guesswork. Please approach the grades given with caution and always explain to students/parents/SLT etc that this is simply a best guess until the exam board provide something more conclusive. The spreadsheet calculates grades for each separate component as well as an overall grade for the qualification. Furthermore, I’ve added a 6 mark buffer to account for grade boundary increases Any queries or clarification, or any faults with the spreadsheet, please contact me directly at steel123@hotmail.com and I will happily try to repair or resolve any problems. Happy with your purchase? Please leave a positive review so that this is promoted to others that may benefit!
