Exam practice

WARNING!********************WARNING!****************WARNING!*************


Just a heads up that we shall be doing a mock paper (section A only) in tomorrows lesson.


Please make sure you arrive to lesson on time as we are completing the full hour and this may run over if you are late.

Half term homework

I have finished marking the remaining essays so please collect them today ready for the half term.

 

You must make sure you have completed a FULL, third draft ready to be handed in on Tuesday the 21st of February please.

 

• Use the half term to do some more research and include relevant quotes and theory.
• Look at the mark scheme in your essay draft folder and familiarise yourself with the expectations for each level.
• Don't hand in an incomplete essay. At this stage, they should be complete.
• If you're struggling and it is not working, look again at your plan and restructure it.
• Examples must be specific (just like the exam)
• Have one or two main examples. Reference other historical texts for context.
• Try to draw links between your question and any contemporary issues in the media.

Good Luck!

Revision - how to narrow down your examples

I hope that today's lesson was of use. You are starting to be selective about which resources you think are particularly useful and discuss them with reference to detailed examples in relation to contemporary media issues, the key concepts and media theory and terminology.

It is a great idea to redo this individually with each case study before the exam to - 
-Re familiarise yourself with the course content
-To start to make your own connections and draw your own conclusions
-To cater the exam to your strengths. Choose resources that interest you. Enrage you. Inspire you. You are much more likely to remember them in the exam if that is the case.

Do not forget to explore a variety of media texts from a variety of media producers. It is not a good idea to go into the exam with purely newspaper based examples. If you feel that is currently the case, use this time to start exploring alternative examples.

Don't forget to apply ideas about media regulation - the snoopers charter, the BBC editorial guidelines, OFCOM and IPSO for example. Examiners are very impressed by this.
