I’ve written this PP to help my GCSE class get started on their Eduqas GCSE Media Comp 3 CA. I have chosen the “life style magazine brief”. I have outlined what pupils must create in order to achieve the brief. I have included a number of planning sheets to support pupils in writing their statement of aims. I have included two PP which pupils can use to support them with their research and planning. I have created worksheets to help pupils reflect on what they should include on their f.cover design, including a hand drawn WAGOLL and prompts for their DPS. This is not a FULL SoW, it is an introductory PP to get pupils started.
