Introducing Geoffrey, the actor’s actor. You may recognise him from such memorable rolls as “Dead Body 4″ in Casualty and “Man walking down street” on Eastenders! Let Geoffrey help you with your GCSE English ‘Speaking & Listening’ modules in these interactive video lessons from Bloc...
Bloc have worked repeatedly with the BBC to ensure the Bitesize GCSE revision program is as effective and comprehensive as possible and our latest contribution, to GCSE English (KS-3), is no exception.
This time round we worked with education consultants, the BBC and schools to develop the English revision modules for Writing, Reading and Drama.
Developed in three distinct and fully interactive styles, in this instance interactive video, the modules set a new bench-mark for interactive learning and aim to inform, educate and entertain 13-14 year old students with their revision for English in the run up to KS-3 tests.
The target audience are a difficult demographic to interact with, as they play with their identity, shift definitions, parameters, language and image in an effort to evade ‘grown ups’ (parent’s organisations and brands) and discover their developing personalities.
They not only have short attention spans, but they are also notoriously fickle when it comes to likes and dislikes and therefore challenging to engage and entertain.
Online plays an important role in their day-to-day life and serves as a key portal for influence and learning, through search, play and peer opinion and sharing.
Taking all this into account, and backed up by nearly a decade of experience engaging teens, we developed the following highly successful modules.
The overriding tone of the activities is light-hearted and humorous, the content delivered with a level of maturity that encourages learning at a GCSE level and the results are funny, positive, unpredictable and relevant to their audience.
