Reintroducing advertising

Over the past two weeks, you have completed six challenging sessions. These final lessons explored Attitude magazine, and required you to draw on everything you have learnt over the past two years. Many of you have produced exceptional work, and have completed additional past paper questions.

Due to the significant amount of work set and the exceptional circumstances that this work is being set in, there are still students who have lessons left to complete. Today's lesson is an opportunity to catch up.

Catching up

Task: use today's lesson time to complete the work set over the last two weeks. You can find an index of tasks by clicking here.

Reintroducing advertising 

The labels tool is a great way to find the posts relevant to your revision!

Now that we have finished all content in media studies, this week sees us going back to previous industries to revise them. We are going to start with the very first topic that you covered in A-level media studies: advertising and marketing

Task - Using the blog to revise advertising and marketing

Use the blog follow and complete at least three of these these activities in any order:

• Find and save all three case studies in to a new blog post
• Find the 'cheat sheet', and use it to make detailed notes on the case studies
• Use the advertising and marketing label under the header image to select all blog posts labelled as advertising and marketing,and dig in
• Find the theories and theorists resource, and list all of the theories that you have to apply to advertising. Then use post-it notes (or a digital version like Google Keep) to make notes on how theory can be applied to each case study advert
• Use the revision guide to make a question, and then bullet-point answer it
• Switch on the TV, and analyse the first advert you see using the textual analysis toolkit

Pretty straightforward lesson for today! Please make sure to publish your work after you've finished, and let me know if you have any questions!
