GCSE Media: Final CSP index - AQA Advance Information edition

Your Easter homework is to create a final index of the Close Study Products that will be appearing in the 2022 exams.

This will be useful for two reasons: firstly, if you have missing or unfinished blogposts then this will mean you can catch up and learn anything you may have missed over the two-year course due to lockdowns, covid or any other reason. Secondly, if you're aiming for the top grades then you can complete the grade 8/9 extension tasks for each CSP as part of your revision. This will also set you up perfectly for A Level Media in the future (remember these tasks do not usually require much by way of writing - it's usually just some A Level reading and a question to think about).

CSP case studies: Final index - AQA Advance Information list

Create a new blogpost called 'CSP case studies: Final index' and link to YOUR blogpost for each of the following. Note - this is in the order the products will appear in the exams and not in the order we studied them:

1) Magazines: Tatler
2) Advertising and Marketing: Galaxy Audrey Hepburn advert
8) Television: Doctor Who - Language and Representation

When you see your work in an index like this, it makes you realise what a brilliant job you have done over the last two years studying this extensive and varied course through covid, lockdowns and other distractions. Well done! This was NOT easy - and now you need to put the time in to revise and prepare for the upcoming exams to get the best grade you possibly can.

Walk-and-talk mock exam

After Easter, we'll be doing learner response tasks for the two mock exams we did earlier this term before a walk-and-talk Paper 1 exam in class. Revising the topics above will be perfect preparation for this! 

Revision tips

The most important revision tip is to make sure you have completed all the original blogposts and know the key information about each CSP. You also have paper copies of sample questions and mark schemes from the December mock exam period to help prepare too - let us know if you can't find your copy of these. 

Here's a good blog on how to write effective flashcards for revision - and you can always pop in to DF07 if you need some more flashcards.

It would be a good idea to re-watch the TV episode CSPs as that is a topic we know will definitely be in Paper 2. You can watch Doctor Who and Class here using your Greenford Google login
