Powerpoint overview of the OCR course

Me-dia is a speaking and listening task that requires students to create and then speak to a Prezi that describes their relationship with the media. I have used the task successfully in Year 10 English to begin teaching about the media's discussion of issues.

Used with my S2 / Year9 class to support Media Studies as part of English. Kids found it really engaging, and assessed with a group discussion at the end. Includes a worksheet and RUAE task to go along with it. Looks at mise-en-scene, character development and camera angles.
