End of Year 1 exam learner response

-

1) Type up your feedback in full (you do not need to write mark/grade if you do not wish to).  WWW: Q2 is very strong with good reference to the CSPs and clear focus on the question. In fact, it's only 1.3 that is holding you back from a 7+ grade here.

EBI: In 1.2 and 1.3 you must focus on the extract and make detailed reference to it.                -1.3 needed more depth/detail aim for 3 paragraphs.

2) Question 1.1 asked you what intertextuality is. Write out the definition of intertextuality - you may need to look it up in your glossary or Media book if you're not sure. Intertextuality is when media texts refer to other media texts.

3) Look at your answers for 1.2 and 1.3. Did you ONLY write about the clip shown in the exam? How can you improve your answers in these questions? No I didn't only write about the clip shown in the exam. 

4) Look at your answer for question 2 - the 20-mark essay. Did you write about BOTH Doctor Who and Class and give examples from both CSP episodes we have studied? How could you improve your answer here? Yes and i could improve by mentioning more points.

5) Are you happy with your End of Year 1 exam result? No.

6) What will you do differently for the next set of mock exams in November/December? I will focus on the extract given for 1.2 and 1.3.

7) Write THREE things you need to revise or practice before your next TV assessment (e.g. notetaking, CSPs, media theories, terminology etc.) 
.
  • note taking 
  • focusing on extract
  • read questions properly

8) What final overall grade do you hope to achieve in GCSE Media Studies this time next year? 8 or 9 I hope to achieve next year.
