This lesson introduces students to the fundamental differences between 'features' and 'components' in Media texts and asks them to analyse the 'Where's Klaus' Internet Safety advert. This lesson worked really well as a successful interview lesson for Middle Leadership, it would equally work well for a Media Studies lesson or a PSHE lesson on Internet Safety. Students are asked to engage with the advert using stills and differentiated questions. When I taught this lesson I also got students to mark their start 'grade' on a timeline (most said they would have thought they'd get a 2/3 at first) and then ask them to review this twice more during the lesson.....this simple method was highly successful in showing the 'outstanding progress'achieved during the lesson for all students.

This resource examples how audiences assume a 'Collective Identity' through a range of images to prompt discussion before then exploring the Critical Debate 'Whatever I say I am' . The lesson concludes with an essay question, peer assessment and DIRT style homework task to build on learning and independent research for this Case Study. This is an excellent lesson for students who need that extra leg up on this more challenging Case Study.

These resources offer a number of inroads into the topic of Identities and The Media, it includes theoretical references and documents, nurtures independence and includes a complete overview of this topic that takes students through a step by step guide outlining how to approach this Case Study.
