This is the first double lesson in our UoL, when I introduce conversation analysis to Y12 students. It includes: A Powerpoint for a double introductory lesson An introduction to basic terms and concepts associated with discourse analysis Transcripts to work on for students and teacher copy of annotations Activities to encourage engagement Instructions in the notes section of the Powerpoint

Lesson 1 and 2 of Media Messages: News and Online Media for new OCR spec. This delivers content/ includes activities on the economic context of the print sector, ownership models, Curran and Seaton theory, Harcup’s News values and agenda setting. It focuses on front pages of The Daily Mail and The Guardian.

I used this Powerpoint to deliver all of the LOs for unit 3 coursework, using the exam board resources and text book as guidance. I can’t attach all the resources I use to support the students because some are copyrighted. However, pretty much any of those resources can be found online. I have attached extra guidance and resources where possible and a booklet for the students to use for reference and planning. It offers two tasks, which are based on the suggested task from the exam board. They can create a documentary or a DPS. In retrospect, I’d probably ask the students that chose a print based task to also supply a cover page, as the documentary task is way more time consuming. There isn’t any guidance on technical skills, as we complete a skills based unit before starting this, where we introduce them to Indesign and iMovie. The checklist is there for the students to tick off all of the tasks before they finally hand in their folders.
