KS3 Reading to access media texts

(0)
This is a compilation of a few KS3 resources I have made to help students tackle the presentational aspect of media texts. It has been made with a view to preparing KS3 students for the new CCEA GCSE: Reading to access media texts. It focuses on Camera Angles, Shot Types and Camera Movements. It could be used for a Media class, reading film, Film Studies or indeed for the GCSE CCEA spec. Hopefully you find this useful! :)

Self Assessment of Written Work

This a self-assessment form for students to fill in, based on The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas. However, it can easily be adapted to suit other written tasks. It is for KS3 students and the aim is that they read the feedback comments / annotation on their work and tick accordingly. They then review how many Yes/No ticks they have and set themselves a target based on what they have identified as their weaknesses.
