COMPONENT 1, SECTION B MASTERY EDUQAS A-LEVEL SHEETS: NEWSPAPERS (INDUSTRY)

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:

-4 Stepped questions/ key focus
-Banded terms glossary (3-5) for stretch and challenge
-Marking criteria with indicative content
-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).

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. (a) Briefly explain what is meant by distribution. [2]

(b) How have recent technological changes had an impact on the production and distribution of newspapers? [10]

In Question 3(d), you will be rewarded for drawing together knowledge and understanding from across your full course of study, including different areas of the theoretical framework and media contexts.

(d) Explain how ownership shapes media products. Refer to The Daily Mirror to support your points. [12]
