This is a lesson that I devised to accompany Kazuo Ishiguro’s ‘A Family Supper’, found in the AQA GCSE English Literature Short Story Anthology. It was originally created for a higher achieving group, but could easily be differentiated. It also features a YouTube video about the Fugu fish.

I created this PowerPoint for my Year 12 Media Studies class as an introduction to semiology/semiotics. I will be using this at the start of the Autumn Term as a way into the Advertising and Marketing component of the new Eduqas GCE in Media Studies. I would suggest supplementing this lesson with other print ads, as necessary for your students, and a scaffold of some kind for those that may require additional support.

Designed for AS Level students following the Eduqas (WJEC) specification. This is intended to supplement work on Section A of Component 1 - Investigating Media Language and Representation.

Designed to be an introductory lesson for Component 1 (Section B) of the new EDUQAS AS-Level Media Studies syllabus.

This is a resource designed to help students plan a response to the Language Change question in Section A of Paper 2. It works best when students use the guidance in conjunction with the AQA Student Book (pages are listed on the penultimate slide).
