These excellent resources work perfectly in any media studies classroom! I have used these posters as wall displays, learning mats and hand outs when students are completing classwork/ coursework. My current head teacher commented on these resources stating they were “the best resources” he has seen in the classroom. My students find them incredibly helpful during lessons especially during assessment/ coursework and revision work. **The documents include: ** An introduction to Audience (Mass, Niche, Primary + Secondary target audience, demographic and psychometrics). A guide to audience theories (VALS and Young and Rubicam). Audience theories (Audience positioning, Stuart Halls Encoding and Decoding theory). A guide to Uses and Gratification Theory A guide to Representation A guide to Todorov’s Narrative Theory (Including clear example, Monsters Inc) A guide to Propp’s Character Theory Magazine Terminology I remember being taught media studies at GCSE and A Level and wished I had resources like this to support me when completing assessment work. I hope your students enjoy them to. Leave a review and any suggestions for new learning mats and I’ll continue to plan and develop these resources.
