YEAR 12 (MEDIA EDUQAS LINEAR): COMP1, SEC B: RADIO 'LATE NIGHT WOMEN'S HOUR' AN INTRO AND AUDIENCE

LESSON 21-23 IN THE SERIES OF SECTION B LESSONS: AUDIENCE AND CONTEXTS= This Triple lesson begins to look at Late Night Women’s Hour and how the show attracts audiences. I have worked extensively on this series of lessons (6 lessons in total) as Staff, students and feedback fro Media Teachers around the country have specified that this form is especially hard to teach with regards to student engagement and accessibility. This Triple lesson looks at:

-Audience profiling
-Is structured around two questions form the EDUQAS SAMS materials which students will answer at the end.
-Socio/cultural and historical content to BBC and Radio 4.
-The mission statement of both the BBC and Radio 4.
-A fantastic resource that breaks down listeners of Radio .
-A clip on the history of Womens Hour, the show that influenced ‘LNWH’.
-An in-depth Article on the selected episode of ‘LNWH’ (Link included in Power Point).
-Stuart Hall’s three readings theory.
-Issues surrounding an all-female panel on audiences.
-Class task working through each of the two SAMS questions (Walking Talking Mock).
-Context on the host and how this may attract a viewer.

• Use of EDUQAS fact sheet breakdown as my students commented that they were finding this particular fact sheet hard to access (Differentiation).
• Consider how audiences are grouped and categorised by media industries, including by age, gender and social class, as well as by lifestyle and taste.
• Consider how audiences interpret the media, including how and why audiences may interpret the same media in different ways.

THIS LESSON INCLUDES ALL LINKS, PRINTABLE RESOURCE AND PRINTABLE RESOURCE SHEETS WITHIN THE POWER POINT

This will be uploaded as a series of lessons on Component 1, Section Band will be part of a group of resources with different theories/terms as headings under each Exam Component.

This lesson is therefore Ideal for those wanting to Team Teach or teach Component 1, Sections A and B at differing times.

NOTE: I am following EDUQAS Teaching Model 1 in my teaching/ SOW and my school is only providing Media Studies at A-Level, as a Two- Year Course. Moreover, each lesson has a task whereby students RAG (Red, Amber, Green) what they have learnt in the lesson against an Examiner checklist (Differentiation, peer assessment).

If you liked this resource and found it useful, it would be greatly appreciated if you could feedback or rate my resource as I am constantly trying to adapt and refine my resources to improve the learning of my students. Many thanks.
