What do teachers say about this resource? (12257, 12258)
Self-contained and comprehensive. Very clearly structured and informative. Matches and interprets the specification very well. Lessons are well structured and the guidance given for the examination practice sections is thorough and detailed. An excellent range of lesson plans and resource materials that will help teachers prepare their students effectively for the requirements of the new examination. I would definitely purchase this resource as soon as possible; it is extremely thorough and saves teachers a huge amount of time. The hour-long lessons are logically sequenced, but can also be used as stand-alone lessons, depending on prior teaching. The information sheets are especially useful in negating the need for teachers to spend time carrying out additional research. Consideration has been given to some centres’ lack of access to computers and the internet, and many of the research tasks are optional. I particularly liked the suggestions for homework tasks to complement each of the lessons. The accompanying PowerPoint presentations are also clearly presented, and are a valuable time-saving resource to accompany the detailed lesson plans
Very thorough and detailed. The writer clearly has excellent subject knowledge, use of key vocabulary and theories and concepts. Very good reference to the key set texts... Completely covers this section of the exam prep... The lesson plan format with spaces to add lesson time, class numbers etc. are really handy as a timesaver for busy teachers. The worksheets and answers are good to ensure everything is covered (in great depth) and help those newer to media ensure they are addressing important points. The PowerPoints are bright and appealing to look at, I like the slide format chosen... I think it suits the specification well.
What do teachers say about this resource? (12571)
Excellent... Serves as a great revision tool for students, with detailed examples thoroughly laid out. The comprehensive explanations and variety of tasks ensure that students can understand and apply the material effectively. It’s an invaluable aid for reinforcing learning and preparing for exams... I particularly liked the extended and detailed reviews of all the set texts, which provided a deep understanding of each one. The added examples that link directly to the set texts were incredibly useful, as they helped to illustrate key points and concepts in a clear and practical way... I feel this resource significantly enhances learning through its detailed responses and clear, easy-to-follow layouts. The comprehensive explanations help students grasp complex concepts, while the well-organized structure makes it easy for them to navigate and understand the material. The educational value lies in its ability to provide in-depth knowledge and practical examples that reinforce learning and aid in retention. This resource is particularly useful for helping students build a strong understanding of the set texts and effectively preparing them for exams... The resource matches and interprets the specification extremely well. It aligns closely with the exam board specification, ensuring that all key areas are thoroughly covered. The extended links and relevant examples connected to the set texts further enhance its value by providing practical illustrations of the concepts being taught. This alignment ensures that students are not only meeting the required standards but also gaining a deeper understanding of the material, which is crucial for exam success. Overall, it is a well-crafted resource that effectively interprets and adheres to the specification... A highly effective teaching tool.
High quality and is suitable for the GCSE audience... learning is broken down well into manageable chunks. I like the fact that the scheme covers any music video chosen. Lesson plans are really easy to follow with step by step instructions (really teacher friendly!) Exam questions are good and highly appropriate. The answers and mark schemes give strong guidance for the teacher in terms of what to look for. I also like the homeworks set, a good challenge and extension on what is done in the lesson. This is an excellent, really well developed resource which I would definitely use with little alteration.
A very thorough and comprehensive set of lesson plans and accompanying resources [that] will save a considerable amount of planning and preparation time... The lesson plans themselves are clear and easy to follow and the accompanying PowerPoints are very attractively presented.... The lessons are clearly linked to the theoretical framework and key concepts, meaning that learners continue to build on their knowledge and understanding of these... Offers a range of different tasks to suit all learners... The exam-style questions are usefully supported by the mark scheme and have been clearly tailored to the specification.
What do teachers say about this resource? (11762, 12982)
A very useful, accurate and applicable resource! It is detailed, clear and contains useful hand outs that are well differentiated and allow for linked class work and homework to solidify and secure students' knowledge and understanding. The resource is well designed, very visual and contains plenty of images... particularly good for a subject that is also very visual. There is a good level of humour in the resource which goes well with the contemporary study of classic media forms. The PowerPoints are also of a very high quality, are well differentiated and would be accessible to learners with differing needs. The content and animations are designed to a high standard with the learners in mind. They have clearly been created by an active teacher who understands both the subject, topics and students.
A very thorough and comprehensive set of lesson plans and accompanying resources, which meets the requirements of the specification well and offers a range of different tasks to suit all learners. The way in which the different topics within the scheme have been planned means that learners will gain a deep understanding of the theoretical framework and key concepts, rather than superficial knowledge of the surface meanings of the texts. The lesson plans are clear and easy to follow, and the accompanying PowerPoints are very attractively presented to keep learners engaged. I particularly liked the 'further information' sections which will be particularly helpful for a non-specialist or someone teaching the specification for the first time.
High quality and helpful... A really user friendly set of PowerPoints, worksheets and lesson plans to help with delivery. The presentation is excellent – the animations on the PowerPoint slides make it easy for teachers to use it interactively with classes. Well suited to a GCSE audience. Exam questions given at the end of each section are appropriate and realistic in terms of what the exam board may ask.
