<p>A revision resource for A Level Media Studies focused on the WJEC Eduqas specification and the theorists listed in the exam board Teaching Guides.</p> <p>I encourage my students to highlight the sections on the sheet as we cover the material. It also serves as a basis for checking knowledge later on. It is designed to fit on a single side of A4 paper, though it scales decently to A3 for displaying.</p> <p>The two-page resource summarises each theoretical viewpoint briefly and organises the theorists according to the appropriate theoretical framework.</p> <p>This resource pairs reasonably well with the A Level Media Studies - Exams Structure and Theories knowledge organiser available on the store.</p> <p>Both the .pdf and the .pub are included so that you can customise it to your teaching groups.</p>
