BAND 5/ LV9 COMPLETE 2020 OFFICIAL EDUQAS MEDIA STUDIES PAPER (KEY TERMS AND STRUCTURE) HIGHLIGHTED

This resource includes all 4 sections of the Official 2020 EDUQAS October paper. It is great for revision, responsive marking and modeling. I have broken each section into it’s own word document, should you wish to offer this to students as a complete set or go through individual sections. As well as written exemplars by myself, I have included:

-Top tips
-Highlighted the key words as the students should do in the exam
-Broken all of my paragraphs into a PEE structure
-Used a departmental colour coding scheme to indicate when I am discussing theory/ terms for RAIL and Contexts (CHEPS) which is outlined on the document.
