Anti-Social Media Assembly

(3)
Anti-Social Media? A Powerful Secondary School Assembly on Social Media, Mental Health & Online Safety Looking for a thought-provoking, research-informed assembly that gets students genuinely reflecting on their relationship with social media? This engaging and highly relevant assembly explores the impact of social media on young people, combining current research, discussion opportunities, video clips and practical strategies to help students take greater control of their online habits. Perfect for KS3, KS4 and KS5 students, the assembly moves beyond simple “social media is bad” messages and instead encourages balanced, critical thinking about how technology influences attention, wellbeing, sleep, relationships and mental health. Students will explore: • Why social media is so difficult to put down • How platforms are designed to capture and hold attention • The psychology behind notifications, likes, streaks and infinite scrolling • The impact of social comparison and FOMO • Social media and mental health research findings • Body image, filters and unrealistic online portrayals • Sleep disruption and constant connectivity • Cyberbullying and its long-term consequences • AI, deepfakes and misinformation • The UK’s Online Safety Act and growing age verification measures • Practical strategies for creating healthier online habits Includes: ✔ Full assembly PowerPoint ✔ Discussion questions throughout ✔ Student reflection opportunities ✔ Multiple video clip links included ✔ Research-informed content from organisations including Ofcom, the Royal Society for Public Health, Anti-Bullying Alliance and other reputable sources ✔ Positive and balanced approach rather than fear-based messaging ✔ Suitable for whole-school delivery Why teachers like this assembly Unlike many assemblies on social media, this resource avoids simply telling students to spend less time online. Instead, it helps them understand how social media platforms are designed, why they can feel so addictive, and how young people can make informed decisions about their own use. The assembly encourages meaningful discussion around attention, wellbeing, online safety, digital literacy and personal responsibility while acknowledging the positive role social media can play when used appropriately. Ideal for: • Whole-school assemblies • Tutor time programmes • PSHE • RSHE • Mental Health Awareness events • Safer Internet Day • Digital Citizenship education • Online Safety initiatives Please also visit my TES Assembly Store where over 100 assemblies are available on a huge range of topics.

OCR A Level Media Basics Bundle

8 Resources
A complete OCR A-Level Media Studies introductory bundle covering media basics, media language, representation, stereotypes, camerawork, mise-en-scène and key theory. This bundle contains 8 fully editable PowerPoint (.pptx) lessons designed for students beginning OCR A-Level Media Studies. The lessons introduce students to the foundations of Media Studies, including key terminology, media forms, audience, representation, stereotypes, mise-en-scène, camerawork, narrative theory and character theory. The bundle is ideal for the opening weeks of Year 12, GCSE-to-A-Level transition, early course induction, revision or intervention. Lessons include retrieval practice, discussion tasks, terminology activities, printable worksheets/resources, model answers, sentence starters and scaffolded exam-style writing tasks. The sequence builds students’ confidence with the essential analytical vocabulary needed for OCR A-Level Media Studies before moving into set texts. Suggested teaching order Lesson 1: OCR A-Level Media Studies Introduction Introduces students to the course, classroom expectations, media forms, audiences, representation, stereotypes, anti-stereotypes, CAGES and trailer analysis. This works best as the first lesson because it gives students a broad overview of the subject and establishes key routines. Lesson 2: Camerawork Analysis Introduces key camera shots, angles, framing and connotations. Students explore how camerawork shapes audience response, power, vulnerability, fear and meaning. This should come early because camerawork is one of the core building blocks of media language. Lesson 3: Mise-en-Scène: Lighting Develops students’ understanding of mise-en-scène through lighting terminology, including low-key lighting, high-key lighting, natural lighting, directional lighting and silhouette. Students apply this to film extract analysis. Lesson 4: Mise-en-Scène: Acting Continues the CLAMPS/media language sequence by focusing on acting, including facial expression, gesture, body language, eye contact and movement. Students apply acting terminology to extract analysis and exam-style writing. Lesson 5: Todorov Narrative Theory Introduces narrative structure through Todorov’s five stages: equilibrium, disruption, recognition, attempt to repair and new equilibrium. Students apply the theory to music video and film examples. Lesson 6: Propp’s Character Theory Builds on narrative by introducing Proppian character roles, including hero, villain, donor, dispatcher, helper, princess/prize and false hero. Students apply character theory to crime drama examples including Vigil and The Avengers. Lesson 7: Female Stereotypes Introduces gender representation with a focus on female stereotypes, anti-stereotypes, CAGES, “The New Woman” and media language analysis. Students analyse examples from Wonder Woman, Stranger Things, Lupin, The Hunger Games and Wednesday. Lesson 8: Male Stereotypes Completes the introductory representation sequence by focusing on masculinity, male stereotypes, anti-stereotypes, “The New Man” and generational masculinity. Students analyse examples from Stranger Things, The Lord of the Rings and Breaking Bad. What is included? 8 fully editable PowerPoint (.pptx) lessons Introductory OCR A-Level Media Studies lesson Camerawork analysis lesson Mise-en-scène lighting lesson Mise-en-scène acting lesson Todorov narrative theory lesson Propp character theory lesson Female stereotypes and representation lesson Male stereotypes and representation lesson Printable worksheet/resource slides Camerawork resource document and analysis task Retrieval practice tasks Key terminology slides Teacher feedback/model answer slides Sentence starters Word banks Analytical writing frames Exam-style questions Model responses Peer/self-assessment criteria Plenary and reflection tasks Key topics covered OCR A-Level Media Studies Media Studies introduction Media basics Media language Representation Audience CAGES Stereotypes Anti-stereotypes Gender representation Male representation Female representation The New Man The New Woman Mise-en-scène CLAMPS Lighting Acting Camerawork Camera shots Camera angles Connotation Denotation Narrative Todorov Propp Character theory Audience response Film analysis Music video analysis Extract analysis Exam-style writing This bundle can be used as: An opening OCR A-Level Media Studies unit A Year 12 induction sequence A Media Basics teaching pack A Media Language introduction bundle A Representation introduction bundle A GCSE-to-A-Level transition unit A revision or intervention pack A theory introduction sequence A set-text preparation unit before moving into OCR texts This bundle includes fully editable PowerPoint (.pptx) lessons and supporting printable/resource materials.
