Two lessons which look at approaching unseen analysis and guides students through the ‘media language’ question for Eduqas GCSE Media Component 1 Section A. The lessons are similar so could be used as a taught practice and then assessment.

A HOME LEARNING project on Spectre media audience and industry for students taking GCSE Media in 2021 - created for the Codiv-19 school closure. This covers most of the Section B specification and includes tasks like: research, analysis, application of theories (previously taught), exam style questions etc. I created this for a class who have done some work on Spectre and James Bond so far, but some of this s ‘new content’ for them; this could however, also be suitable for students with lots of previous learning on Spectre and Section B.

I created this for a class who have not done any work on magazines so far is is ‘new content’ for them, this could however also be suitable for students with some previous learning on magazines.
