Welcome to Long Road!

A belated welcome to all first year A Level Media Studies. You're going to be bombarded with information over the next few weeks, so we'll keep this brief.

This blog serves as a collection of articles, links, revision aids and resources. The best place to start is the label grid above. Your first lesson is on genre, so try clicking that label for starters. If you just want to see posts for the AS year, click the AS label.

Check out the links box to the right. The best place to start would be examples of last year's AS coursework. Watch a few. What did you think? Could you do better?

Perhaps the most important post, for first years especially is the toolkit for textual analysis. Your teacher will have given you a copy of this, but you'll probably  find it useful to have an online copy.

Finally, here's a simple overview of the year ahead. Just keep in mind dates and topics are subject to change.
