Duration - 2-3.30pm
Production work makes up 30% of students’ grades for GCSE and A Level Media Studies yet it’s often an area that gets neglected. With set texts to get through and exams to prepare for it’s hard to give over lesson time to developing students production skills.
In this webinar we will explore ways of embedding low-stakes practical activities and simulation tasks in your schemes of work that not only build production skills and give your students confidence with their NEA but also develop their understanding of aspects of the theoretical framework by putting them in the role of media producers.
Production work need not require expensive equipment, technical expertise or many hours of preparation to deliver. We will dispel some of the myths surrounding production work and explore how it can be quick and easy to plan for and manageable to implement.
This course is suitable for Media Studies teachers of all experience levels, teaching any GCSE or A Level specification.
This course will be recorded but attendees will not be audible or visible.
