Eduqas 9-1 Media Studies theoretical framework glossary resources for students

Eduqas 9-1 Media Studies theoretical framework glossary resources for students

(1)
For anyone who's attended the brilliant 9-1 Eduqas Media Studies conferences, you'll know that the theoretical framework is an essential basis for teaching the new course. I don't like my students to waste time copying the theories into the media terminology glossary in the back of their books, I like them to stick it in and focus on applying the theories to textual analysis. The resources attached will help you get ahead of planning and have been labelled so you can just print/photocopy exactly how many you need for each class way in advance.

Eduqas 9-1 GCSE Media Studies Audience and Uses & Gratifications theory

(1)
A useful lesson covering Uses & Gratifications theory for the new 9-1 GCSE Media Studies Eduqas specification. From an introductory suite of 9 lessons, designed to give students starting this option an overview of the theoretical framework as well as an indication of how demanding it will be (just in case they mistakenly believe it is just watching films!) I have added a v.2 of the powerpoint as the embedded clip proved difficult for a member to open - there is a YouTube hyperlink on this file instead.

Peaky Blinders SoL AS / A-level Year 1 Media Studies
geckomonkeygeckomonkey

Peaky Blinders SoL AS / A-level Year 1 Media Studies

(0)
This powerpoint is a companion for teaching the Edquas Peaky Blinders component 2 TV drama set product. There are teacher notes at the beginning outlining some of the potential Year 12 / A level 20 mark tasks. I would advise watching the product on the BBC iPlayer or DVD and using the powerpoint to prompt note-taking tasks and discussions. There are links to YouTube clips to explore genre hybridity and intertextuality as well as links to YouTube guides to theories. I have broadly separated tasks into Narrative, Representation, Genre, Audience and Context. There is a combination of exam board mark schemes adapted from other products and indicative content for self, peer and teacher assessment. There are plenty of opportunities for extended responses for students throughout, as well as pair and group planning activities. I haven’t yet created a Year 13 / Year 2 A-level powerpoint - I will do at some point! I have taught my Year 12s using this and I’ve reflected on it and adapted it slightly so I hope it will prove useful.
