Sorting your folder out
You need to make sure that your folder is sorted, presentable and in the correct order, once you have finished all of the written work to the best of your ability.
This requires use of the following:
* Page numbering
* A contents page to guide your reader through the work
* A page that explains the role that each person in the group playing in forming the research
Remember that you research folders should not be identical. Whilst there will be the occasional piece of shared, photocopied research, there will need to be unique aspects to each folder

Why Choose Media Studies?
GCSE Media Studies
We live in a media-saturated world. From video clips on your phone, to TV ads to blockbuster movies, to posters at the bus stop, to the music in your earbuds, you are surrounded by media messages for most of your waking hours. How do you make sense of them all? How do you know what they are trying to communicate — both on an obvious and a less obvious level? How do you know how much you have been influenced — consciously or subconsciously — by these media messages? Does the media reflect your reality, or control the way you view it?
It's been said that media literacy is as important to living in the 21st century as regular literacy was to the 20th century. Media Studies helps you develop an important set of skills that will help you navigate the rest of your education and then, your working life. Media Studies will help you increase your knowledge and understanding of:
- Communication
- Design
- Planning
- Presentation
- Evaluation
- Creativity
- Critical Thinking
- Research
- Story-telling
- Technology
- Politics
- Business
- Culture
- Citizenship
