This unit of work facilitates young new reporters. Students will have the opportunity to explore reading, watching, listening and writing a range of mediums. From food adverts, current newspaper articles and advertising campaigns; all of the tasks aim to support students having a better understanding of different media platforms that shares news and information.
Tried. Tested. Taught!
There are two units:
Research and Planning
Statement of Intent
The research and planning unit is split into teaching slides and student slides. Each presentation aims to focus on each feature of the brief and specification. Whilst designed with the 2023 specification, slides can be tweaked for future briefs.
The statement of intent lessons use the specification and facilitate students drafting their work.
Here is the first session for introducing AQA’s Extended Project Qualification. There are opportunities to engage with research (links attached) as well as get the logbook started.
I will be using this very presentation with students this year too!
