Specifically written for AQA GCSE Media Studies Unit 2, 'Investigating the Media' whereby students must "analyse and respond to media texts/ topics using the key media concepts and appropriate terminology; however the skills covered are necessary for all media students.
This bundle will enable you to teach the key media concepts using an excellent documentary (which is freely available on YouTube) as your anchor point. Note- this pack does not look at documentary as a specific 'genre'. This pack would be great to introduce the key concepts or to consolidate knowledge. Plenty of Ofsted- friendly (booo) stuff in here too. Also useful for revision.
The mark schemes provided are adapted from the AQA GCSE spec but, as noted, all specs require investigations and analyses of media products and the success criteria I have written is easily adaptable.

- class tasks/ discussions
- homework tasks
- 3 exam style assessments with marking criteria grids provided for each (inspired by the AQA GCSE Media syllabus but easily adaptable for your own spec)

- denotation and connotation
- dvd cover analysis
- mise en scene

***FULL PACK*** to teach the ‘Communicating Information and Ideas’ section of the OCR GCSE English Language course. This pack uses the subject of the Columbine Massacre in 1999 to engage and enthuse the students. I have already used this pack with my own group and they found it really interesting. Please note: this pack enables students to work on the skills needed but only includes 20th century sources for the simple reason that only 20th century sources are relevant for this topic (in the exam students will have texts from 19th, 20th and 21st centuries).
Includes;
-21 page student booklet with various texts about the crime and a range of exam activities (both reading and writing).

This resource contains 15 very detailed breakdowns of the requirements at each level for EACH of the individual assessment objectives for both paper 1 and paper 2 of the 2016 AQA GCSE English Language course.
These have been carefully designed so that you can just highlight students’ levels rather than laboriously annotate work thereby cutting down on both marking time, and stress.
The marking sheets can also be used for very productive self or peer assessment by students.
I have had excellent feedback from those who have used these resources thus far.
