Magazines feedback and learner response

-

 WWW: You’ve written some well-developed, detailed answers here exploring the questions in real depth. This will be a fantastic skill in a real exam or assessment. You make specific reference to the CSPs, particularly in the Reveal answer which is also very positive.

EBI: For Q3, look at the language you use in your representation answer. You make plenty of good points but ideally need to discuss stereotypes with representation questions – does Reveal reinforce or subvert the stereotypes of women and celebrities we usually see in the media? You’ve instead used the words positive and negative which is not quite the same. Try and use reinforce/subvert and stereotypes in future.

LR: Write THREE things you will revise or practice for the Magazines topic before your next exam or assessment. 

1) Discuss about Stereotype in blog posts about the representation questions.

2) Use reinforce/subvert and stereotypes in future.

3) Get the target audience correct next time.
