Revision links and guidance

We've got plenty of resources to help you with your revision and preparation for the upcoming exams.

Here's a link to the PowerPoint we've been using to revise key topics so far. 

Here's the sample questions and answers we've been working on in our revision lessons. 

Note that you'll need your Greenford Google login for these resources as they are only for GHS Media students.

Earlier this year we gave you a paper copy of the Theoretical Perspectives resource which covers all the theories in the A Level Media specification. Let us know if you didn't get one!
