What do teachers say about this resource? (12057)
The creative application in certain activities in a particular strength of this resource. There is ample activities which approach the set texts from a new perspective. The resource is well written clearly with media specialist knowledge. I absolutely love how some of the activities are expanding beyond what can be assumed as a very monotone syllabus. Activity 1 in the ads section is particularly fun and explores the advertising medium beyond the traditional theoretical curriculum. Some lovely ways to bring in theory into creative tasks too which was really pleasing. I particularly like how students are able to debate topics. This resource allows students to dwell deeper into particular areas which may be neglected by teachers. Equally however, there is some really interesting resources that may be used by teachers to enhance learning and deepen students understanding. The classroom drama activity is particularly fascinating as it allows learners who struggle with the newspaper topic to apply their knowledge in a fun activity. The resource is really well set out and follows the specification points of the syllabus.
A detailed and engaging resource with a really good range of activities on each of the set products. There was a good range of different types of activity suitable for different types and levels of learner. I like the fact that there are creative activities which stretch the students' knowledge and skills beyond the specification, e.g. the design a new newspaper task or the update the set product adverts task. I also like the debate statements tasks which would promote oracy in the classroom and higher level thinking, e.g. Activity 3 task 2. Throughout there are a range of practical tasks to not only enhance the students' learning for Component 1 but will act as good training for Component 3! I really liked the variety of registers used in the resource: in places the resource was very intellectual in approach but there were moments of humour which made the resource more 'fun'. The video games extension tasks were really thought provoking and will generate great research from students. I really like the idea of using this resource as homework tasks, either prior to study or to enhance study/ as revision tasks. They occupy a variety of uses which makes the resource really flexible. I also like the fact that some of the practical tasks are looking forward to Component 3. The extension tasks stretch the more able whilst the majority of the tasks here provide useful frameworks and scaffolding for weaker students. I really liked the activities on offer here and it would certainly generate classroom discussion and group work which I would really like to develop in my lessons.
There is a lot of thinking required in most activities - it builds on what the students have been studying in class for the set texts. It is well suited to the course as all the examples are from the set texts for this specification.
