COMPONENT 1, SECTION A MASTERY EDUQAS A-LEVEL SHEETS: ADVERTISING IN 'WATERAID' (REPRESENTATION)

This resource is part of a set of resources designed to assess students and revisit content at various points throughout the entirety of the A- Level Linear course. Each resource comprises of a task or mock questions taken from the SAMS. The resource includes:

-A 30 MARK question with an unseen comparative text
-Banded terms glossary (3-5) for stretch and challenge
-Marking criteria with indicative content
-2 differentiated help sheets with key slides from my power points to aide students as a last result (they are encouraged not to use these if possible). This slide also includes a audio/visual note-taking exercise on Stuart Hall and an attached link to watch.

I have trialled these packs and my students love them commenting that they are great for revision and revisiting content in a supported way, that they may not have visited in a year or so. I have set these as cover, revision in private study, as a whole lesson task or for H/W. Content often stretches on these sheets from between 2-3 lessons and I usually get my students to swap work when complete with a peer for peer assessment.

The resource is self-contained and can be issued with no other prompt. This lesson focuses on the question:

1. Compare how audiences are positioned by the representations in this ‘Save The Children’ advertisement and the ‘WaterAid’ advertisement you have studied.
   In your answer you must:
   • Consider how the representations construct versions of reality
   • Consider the similarities and differences in how audiences are positioned by the representations
   • Make judgements and draw conclusions about how far the representations relate to relevant media contexts. [30 MARKS]
