AQA 8572 GCSE Media Unit 5 CSP SOL Teacher

Barry Rainsford | Tuesday March 07, 2017

Categories: GCSE, AQA GCSE

Like the Edusites Core Units, this Close Study Products section involves exploring:

  • The role and manipulation of media language
  • The representations in these products
  • Issues of audience
  • Institutional issues such as genre, branding, regulation
  • How the media creates or represents attitudes, behaviours and beliefs

This AQA CSP Unit focuses on:

Paper 1 Section A: Media Language and Representation and Paper 1 Section B: Media Audience and Industry.

Television (Audio/Visual):

  • Class (2016) - Episode 4: Co-owner of a lonely heart
  • Dr Who (1963) - Episode 1: An Unearthly Child

Access to the internet is essential for using the lesson slides and meet the Assessment Objectives.

Some lessons lend themselves to being divided into more than one session. Where this is possible/desirable it is indicated in this Scheme of Learning. You will, of course, have a much greater understanding of the needs, capacities, pace of your students and make these decisions where you feel most appropriate to their needs.
