Assessment 1: learner response

 1) Type up your feedback in full (you don't need to write the mark and grade if you want to keep this confidential).

WWW: Matas- A solid first A-level Media assessment. In particular, a strong response for Q2 on social cultural contexts - really close analysis of both unseen products 


EBI: Your Q1 was good but not enough examples of analysis from the figure to support your knowledge small point but ensure you reference the right theorist.

Grade: B
Marks: 21/29

2) Read the mark scheme for this assessment carefully. Identify at least one potential point that you missed out on for each question in the assessment.

Q1- Not enough examples from figure to support knowledge/ Todorov, Barthes, Propp 
Q2- Both figures reference shaping peoples lives/ include the figure 1 in shaping lives - British culture
Q3- Wrong theorist right theories, use Blumler and Katz

3) Read this exemplar response from a previous Year 12 (an A grade) - note this was a slightly different paper in terms of the question wording and also had an additional question 4 (we've updated it to better reflect recent exams). Identify at least one potential point for questions 1-3 from this student's paper that you could have mentioned in your assessment. 

Q1: Use Barthes
Q2: Escaping from their environment to go on tod live better lives
Q3: Halls Reception theory

4) Did you get any media terminology or theory wrong in the assessment? Make a note of it here for future revision, including theories/terminology that you could have used but didn't.

Neale- Repetition and Difference
Abercrombie- Monetary gain

5) Identify your weakest question and write three bullet points that would improve on your original response. Use the mark scheme and exemplar paper to identify these points - particularly focusing on the anticipated content and the top level descriptors.

  • Using as many examples as I can of the theorists like Barthes and Prop
  • Explaining the theories more coherently
  • Use more media terminology
