GCSE Media Revision Timetable
Remember, Section A is where you answer questions about a given print advert and you will
need to compare it to another print advert you have studied. Section B is where you get to
be creative and produce something to do with TV adverts. Timing is crucial- both sections
are worth the same amount of marks! The best ways to revise are to look at as many
adverts and possible and practice, practice, practice!
Each session will take place on a Tuesday in E8- revision can be independent but the
sessions will be the same theme so drop in if you need any answers or help.
