Deadlines for Coursework

As Lesson Plans 2nd Draft by MrsMellish

Syllabus, Grading of Coursework and Levels

Task: Create a new post and call it as I have done 'Syllabus, Grading of Coursework and Levels'. Put all items that are in bold into your blog. You can copy and paste from my post to yours. (Please note, the orange evaluation questions are in bold and will need to be copied across).

Syllabus 

Exam:

Section A: Textual Analysis and Representation – TV Drama (50 marks)

Section B: Institutions and Audiences (50 marks)

Coursework:

Preliminary task and making an Opening Title Sequence (OTS) (50 marks)

All coursework will go on to our own blog, whilst all exam work will be in your own spiral bound folders. As you complete posts for your coursework you will be asked on this blog to print out some posts to go into your exam folder. This is because the coursework ties in intricately with what you will need to learn for both section A and B of the media exam.

When using your blog it is essential you respond to all comments given by your teacher at the bottom of your posts. Always respond to these comments on the bottom of the post I have written the comment on to show you have made the necessary alterations or considerations.

Deadlines have been given for each section of the coursework because it gets graded throughout the year. These grades contribute to your final coursework grade. This is why it is essential that all homework and class work are completed on time.

It is also important to keep your posts in the same order as the school blog so that the last posts you do appear at the top of your blog. This is so the examiner can find your films and evaluation questions straight away and so that your research and planning tells a chronological story of your progress and journey. The name of each post should match the name I have given mine.

Grading of Coursework

Research and planning – 20 marks

Construction (your final OTS) – 60 marks

Evaluation – 20 marks

We work on research and planning first so that you can build up knowledge and strengthen your skills in order to create an excellent OTS. This is because this is where the majority of the marks lie. On occasions the posts have been structured so there is a choice as to the level of detail you wish to go to. Don’t overwhelm yourselves unnecessarily, but equally it’s important to do the best you can. Choosing to do all assignments is for students wishing to achieve an A*-B grade.These assignments are written on the post as Differentiation.

The evaluation stage consists of a series of questions, which are to assess what you have learnt from the coursework and your ability to evaluate this process throughout. The posts we do for research and planning are designed to help inform your evaluation answers. It is important to consider how you might answer these questions as you progress in the research and planning and construction stages. I advise you don’t just wait till the allocated time in class but consider these questions as you go along. Each evaluation question takes at least five hours to research and then answer. Students who rush these questions at the end of the coursework often jeopardize a potentially good grade. Different ICT needs to be used for each question and the ICT selected must be appropriate to the question. I have created an ICT (called Web Tools) column on the right of my blog to help you with selecting good ICT to use. Each question will be a post. Each question has been written in orange at the top of each post to highlight which questions relate to which posts. The seven questions are:

1. In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions   of real media products?

2. How does your media product represent particular social groups?

3. What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?

4. Who would be the audience for your media product?

5. How did you attract/address your audience?

6. What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?

7. Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?
