Welcome to A Level Media Studies!

We are delighted you have chosen A Level Media Studies and can't wait to get started on the exciting new Media specification

We have a track record of excellent results in A Level Media and last year Media A Level was awarded an ALPS 3 grade with a rating of 'Excellent'. Our A Level results were:

66% A-B
100% A-E

You've got a lot of hard work ahead of you but with commitment, creativity and engagement with the Media you WILL be successful!


A Level Media: first tasks

Your first jobs are to get an A4 ring binder folder with dividers (bring it to every lesson) and start your A Level Media blogs. You can find step-by-step text instructions to setting up a blog here. Your new blogs will be:
  • Media blog 1 - exam teacher name
  • Media blog 2 - coursework teacher name
Once you have your blog URLs, post them as a comment below this post with your name clearly written next to it. For example:

Comment 
John Smith's Media Blog 1 - Mr Halsey: http://mediamacguffinexam.blogspot.co.uk/
John Smith's Media Blog 2 - Mr Bush: http://mediamacguffincoursework.blogspot.co.uk/ 

IMPORTANT: It is absolutely essential you remember your log-in details for blogger.com - it is where your Media work will be posted for the next two years. Make sure you do the following:
  • Add your mobile phone number so you can get a code by text if you forget your password
  • Email your log-in details to yourself using your SCHOOL email address. This way you'll always have the details close to hand if you have troubled logging in later.

Google Classroom
We do all of our work on blogs in Media but we will also be using Google Classroom to communicate with you (particularly if there are future local lockdowns or other issues that require us to work from home). Look out for an invitation in your email to join Google Classroom and make sure you sign up!


First blog task

Once you've set up your new blogs, create a new blog post on your Media Blog 1 and answer the following questions:

1) Why did you choose A Level Media Studies?

2) Did you take GCSE Media Studies (either here at Greenford or a different school)?

3) If you answered yes to Q2, what grade did you achieve in GCSE Media? What coursework task did you complete? What would you say your strengths and weaknesses were in GCSE Media?

4) What grade do you hope to achieve in A Level Media?

5) What are your current thoughts about your next steps after A Levels - university, apprenticeship, work?

6) What do you think the biggest MEDIA story of 2020 has been and why?

7) What media sources do you use to find out about news and current affairs?

8) What was the last film you watched?

9) What is your favourite ever TV series?

10) How many hours do you spend online in an average day? Is this too little, too much or about right? Why? (If you have an iPhone you can use Screen Time to get an accurate figure of how much you use your phone).

If you don't get the questions finished in the lesson, complete for homework - due next lesson.
