It is very important for everyone to review their progress
in textual analysis. You are about to embark on an Assessment for Learning unit
where you will:
a)
Find out more about how your work will be
assessed
b)
Identify both good practice and become more
critical in identifying how work can be improved
c)
Critically reflect upon your own work and make
changes in your approach to boost your attainment.
You need to:
1)
Watch the exam text again
2)
Read through the assessment criteria (blue
sheets) and identify what skills /
standards are required (you should all be aiming for Levels 3 and 4)
3)
Make sure you understand the three different
assessment objects and understand what they actually mean by these terms a)
Explanation, analysis and argument b)Use of example c) Use of terminology
4)
Using the stimulus material provided by SO
analyse the strengths and areas for improvement in both essays
5)
Award marks and be prepared to justify your
judgements making specific references to the mark scheme
Following this discussion, and following further analysis of
good practice you will:
a)
Be expected to redraft your orginal attempt in
order to put into practice “good practice”
b)
Sit another mock exam on textual analysis AND
film institution the week before the Christmas hols.
Please note – you will be receiving your marked scripts
early next week as we are currently identifying anyone who needs to attend
booster classes in advance of the exam.
VERY IMPORTANT – our departmental blog – www.heworth.mediastudies.blogspot.com
is packed with very useful revision materials and this is regularly updated so
make sure you use it!!!!!!
Please remember – this is a very large class but teaching
staff in Media Studies are very keen to support you in the run up to the exam
and with your coursework. Always ask
questions and seek out feedback if you are unsure how to make progress.
Many thanks
EH, GW, SO
