Eduqas New GCSE Film Studies: An approach to Component 2, Global Film. Ian Moreno-Melgar
Â
A PowerPoint presentation I've presented at various Eduqas (WJEC) CPD sessions in January/February 2017 that looks at possible approaches to Component 2 of the new Film Studies GCSE. This presentation focuses on the use of Let the Right One in, Attack the Block and District 9 as well as how to incorporate elements of Film Language and context. There are several resources included here, many of which can be found on the WJEC/Eduqas Facebook group. Please get in touch if I can help in any way.

Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Â
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Â
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

8. Gender roles
Queer Theory or SexualityâŚLGBT? 55 mins
⢠Paddington: âMr Brown dressed up as a ladyâ
⢠Jonathan: âIn a dressâŚ?â
⢠Mr Brown: âNo! It was more of a house coat.
It was quite liberating actually.â
Queer theory (coined by Teresa
de Lauretis but later developed
by Judith Butler) is a set of ideas
based around the idea that
identities are not fixed and do
not determine who we are.
9. Judith Butler â Gender Trouble 1990
⢠Nothing within your identity is fixed.
⢠Your identity is little more than a pile of (social and cultural) things
which you have previously expressed, or which have been said
about you.
⢠There is not really an 'inner self'. We come to believe we have one
through the repetition of discourses about it.
⢠Gender, like other aspects of identity, is a performance (though not
necessarily a consciously chosen one). Again, this is reinforced
through repetition.
⢠Therefore, people can change.
⢠The binary divide between masculinity and femininity is a social
construction built on the binary divide between men and women â
which is also a social construction.
⢠We should challenge the traditional views of masculinity and
femininity, and sexuality, by causing 'gender trouble'.

27. Paddington offers a shameless
celebration of Britishness:
Matt Lucasâ cabbie pokes a jibe at extortionate drivers;
Paddington interprets literally the officious rules of the Tube Station in
hilarious fashion;
the Geographerâs Guild flashbacks parody the well-spoken, outdated
colonials to surprisingly acerbic effect.
Paddington recognises London and, more widely Britainâs inadequacies
while simultaneously celebrating its rich cultural heritage in the
magnificent backdrops of London architecture, in the enduring intrigue
of institutions like the Natural History Museum, in the distinctly English
wit and pompous pretence of the bumbling Mr. Brown.
It also clearly celebrates multicultural London, through the calypso
soundtrack. King states "It adds to the magic of our London that
there's always a band playing the song that happens to reflect your
feelings," says King.
28. Social Class
I travelled light, carrying only the absolute
essentials⌠maps, rations, modest timepiece
and travel piano.
31. Millicent (Upper Class)
Spoilt rich kid â whose fatherâs membership to
the prestigious Geographerâs Guild was
renounced. Felt working class life was a
hardship and that she deserved what was
rightfully hers â recognition, fame and fortune.
32. Mr Curry (Lower Class?)
⢠Cockney-accent (sort-of), nosy neighbour.
Self-interested, living in late mumâs house.
Xenophobic?
⢠âI have some meat paste sandwiches and
pickles⌠they went off on Tuesday, bust youâre
usually alright for a week.â
33. With reference to your own detailed
examples, explore the representation
of Regional/National identity in the
media today.
35. Immigration
Paddingtonâs status as an illegal immigrant is
quickly established when he responds to the
Brownsâ questions about where he has come
from.
The use of the nominalisation âstowawayâ carries
connotations of romantic adventure - an
interesting representation by the film producers.
36. Telegraph
âI'm sure that UKIP will respond that while this is
all very well, it comes down to a question of
numbers. One well-spoken and polite bear
turning up is fine. What if 260,000 turn up every
year? It is a fair question. Within a decade we
would have to build a city two and a half times
the size of Birmingham simply to house all the
Peruvian Bears. Could Britain's marmalade
industry cope with the demand? Probably not.â
37. Xenophobic attitudes are seen through
Mr Curry and Millicent
Mr. Curry worries about the âjungle musicâ and
Millicent warns that one bear will result in more
bears arriving and the whole street will be
subject to their âall-night picnicsâ.
38. Stony Book Press
The anti-immigrant dialogue in the film should
sound familiar to most people who live in the West.
Mr. Curryâs lines about âjungle musicâ and âall-night
picnicsâ are references to peopleâs fears about the
contamination of their culture and lifestyle. People
fear cultures that are not their own, especially
when they have to confront them and there is a
chance their own culture will be changed. âŚ
By having Paddington, a cute and benign bear,
represent an immigrant, the film attempts to show
that people should not be scared of immigrants.
