Newspapers: Essay question

Now that we've completed all the case study work on the Daily  Mirror and the Times we need to put that knowledge into an exam answer. 

Although it sounds like exams will be cancelled, we will still have mock exams or assessments when we go back to school in order to award accurate teacher-assessed grades. This means preparing for Paper 2, Section A 20-mark essay questions on Newspapers.

This is the question we're going to work on in the live lesson this week:

‘Different newspapers address their audiences differently.’

How far is this true of The Times and the Daily Mirror (Close Study Products)?

[20 marks]

We'll plan this in the live lesson and then you need to write a full answer to this question on your blog. Remember the top tip for paragraph structure:

POINT - Topic sentence answering question.

EVIDENCE - From the CSPs - Mirror and Times CSP pages we have studied.

EXPLANATION & Effect on Audience - this could mean Audience pleasures, news values, social and cultural contexts of audience (demographic, psychographic and their own beliefs etc.)

Here's one of the essay plans worked on in class in case it's useful - you'll need your Greenford Google login to open. 

Here are the CSP pages we have studied:
