COMPONENT 1, SECTION A MASTERY EDUQAS A-LEVEL SHEETS: NEWSPAPERS (MEDIA LANGUAGE)

This 6 page A3 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:

-One 15 mark, Section A question/ key focus
-Banded terms glossary (3-5) for stretch and challenge
-Marking criteria with indicative content
-Focuses on teh unseen texts of ‘The Sun’ and ‘Daily Mail’
-A differentiated help sheet with key slides from my power points to aide students as a last result (they are encouraged not to use these if possible).
-A 15/15 exemplar response written by me under timed conditions

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 sheet focuses on the question:

Media Language Question 2 is based on Resource A, the front page of The Sun newspaper (November 2016) and the front page of The Daily Mail newspaper (November 2016) provided on pages 7 and 8. Study Resource A carefully and use both front pages when answering the question.

1. How does media language incorporate viewpoints and ideologies in these front pages of The Sun and The Daily Mail? [15]
