Really loved this resource. It gave me ideas I can use in class. It has lots of useful information and covered a lot of content. The detail of the CSP was evident in the pages. Lots of useful facts that I had forgot to teach. It covers everything needed in the AQA spec. Loved it. Really engaged with it.

A very comprehensive resource covering all the relevant framework concepts. There are also a good range of theories noted with some application to the CSPs. The presentation and brevity are a bonus for revision purposes. This resource could enhance learning as it is very visual and uses appropriate terms; some could be printed poster-size and displayed during the revision term prior to examinations. This would help remind students of key points and theories that they need to recall for the examination.

A comprehensive review of SIMs Free play providing students with valuable insights into the complexities of media production and consumption in today's digital age... I like the way the resource examines how SIMs Free Play reflects contemporary media practices and technologies, such as social media integration and in-game purchases. The student activity sheets are also useful for knowledge consolidation and revision activities... The resource analyses the game's representation of various media theories and concepts such as semiotics, narrative structure, and audience engagement. It offers critical insights into how the game utilizes these elements to create an immersive and interactive experience for players... Clear and logical layout...

I thought the layout and the content was laid out nicely and not overbearing with too much information. Professional and engaging. The questions and the content challenge the students and the content is everything that is required for the students to understand the context of the CSP. This resource covers all of the required content for the AQA exam board. All content and context are relevant.

A very comprehensive resource - the worksheets provide opportunity for students to revisit their understanding of the theoretical concepts and apply them to the two products. The summary sheets are detailed and the theory is appropriately applied... The section on representation is really good. Strong application of theory that ranges across feminist, race and ethnicity and identity discussions... The content provides ample information for students to secure a grounding across the four principles of media theory... Great resource - will be perfect for revision activities.
