Explore fame, identity and representation with this engaging KS2–KS3 cross-curricular unit, Women in the Spotlight.

This fully resourced 5-lesson scheme of work combines Media Studies, English and PSHE, helping students understand how female artists are portrayed in the media and how they shape their own image.

Students explore bias, representation, reinvention and fan culture before creating their own speech celebrating a female artist’s impact.

Designed for teachers, tutors and home educators, this unit is highly relevant, discussion-based and requires minimal preparation.

Ideal for KS2, KS3, mixed-ability groups, enrichment, PSHE lessons and home education, this resource builds critical thinking, communication and analytical skills.
