Media Studies for GCSE - Teacher Resource: Network Licence (Third edition)

A 3rd edition of the best-selling GCSE course for the hugely popular AQA specification. The course is written by Chief Examiner Peter Wall and provides everything that students need to prepare for Media Studies. This edition also contains a CD-ROM with links to a website with examples of Media texts that might be studied.

The course gives comprehensive and reassuring coverage of the requirements for Media GCSE. The full range of media is explored with an up-to-date focus on new technologies.

The course gives unequaled support in its approach to Case Studies, practical production assignments and the Controlled Test. Key concepts of ‘reading’ different media ‘texts’ are fully explained, demonstrated and reinforced through stimulating examples and activities. The accompanying website (with clips from suggested media texts) is ideal for whiteboard use and provides teachers with concrete examples should they need them.

Preparation for the various modes of assessment is a particular strength, with dedicated sections on how to improve students’ skills in tackling the different tests/assignments.
