This will be uploaded as a series of lessons on Component 1, Section A and 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.
