This outstanding scheme of work is the perfect way to introduce media studies to GCSE/BTEC students. It focuses on key media concepts such as audience, representation, and media language, while seamlessly integrating essential media theories. Although I teach this scheme using the BTEC Tech Award in Creative Media Production 2024 specification, the lessons are designed for GCSE-level students. The adaptable mark sheet emphasizes the audience, a topic that is central to most exam boards. This scheme of work comes from a media department that has consistently been the highest-performing subject in the school for the past three years, with results that are 30% above the national average. Due to the engaging and effective lessons, 3/4 of KS4 students opt to take media studies. The head of school has been so impressed by our department’s success that media has now been introduced at KS3. The professionally designed PowerPoint resources feature clear learning objectives (WALT) and success criteria (WILF). They are color-coded with highlights and include interactive elements such as “Stretch and Challenge” prompts, ensuring that students of all abilities remain engaged. Lessons incorporate multimedia resources and key terminology boxes to enhance revision and concept retention, making complex ideas easily accessible and enjoyable. This high-quality resource leads to exceptional student performance and engagement, creating a memorable and effective learning experience. Designed for 60-minute lessons (though easily extendable), the scheme offers a well-rounded mix of teacher-led activities and active learning tasks, with differentiation strategies in place to stretch higher-ability students and support those needing extra guidance. The lesson structure includes a blend of teacher instruction followed by workshops and hands-on learning. My head teacher has praised the resources, saying he’s “never seen such fantastic resources.” Lessons in the scheme include: • Primary and Secondary Target Audience • Demographics • Socio-economic Groups • VALS Theory • Film Marketing Campaigns • Audience Consolidation • Purpose of Media Products • Motivations of Media Producers • Denotation and Connotation • Primary and Secondary Research • Secondary Research = Case Study • Primary Research + Recording Outcomes • Genre • Steve Neale’s Genre Theory • Representation – Gender • Positive and Negative Representations • Stereotypes and Countertypes • Propp’s Character Theory • Representation Consolidation • Narrative • Psychology of Colour The PowerPoints are visually appealing, and students frequently praise their design.

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.
