Film and Media Schemes of Work

Featured here are a selection of Schemes of Work for aspects of film and media curricula devised by teachers who have taken part in the bfi/Middlesex University MA module Introduction to Media Education over the past couple of years.

They are designed by teachers new to media teaching and cover a range of curricula versions of film or media: in English as well as in GCSE and AS level Media and Film Studies. Many of the documents also feature commentaries written by the teachers, explaining their rationale and principles, their resourcing, and discussing the learning opportunities the schemes present.

If you would like to follow up any of the schemes, please email Education.

We hope to add more sample schemes as each cohort of the MA course finishes.
