December assessment - feedback and learner response

 1) First, copy down the teacher's comments from your paper. Next, did you succeed in meeting or exceeding your target grade for GCSE Media? If not, how many additional marks do you need to achieve your target grade in this paper? Write this in a full answer. 

My target grade is...6

My mark for this paper was...16 marks = grade 3

To achieve my target grade of a 6___, I would need to get __12__ more marks

We don't know exactly what grade boundaries AQA will set in the real exams. These are the boundaries we've used (out of 40) 

7 = 32; 6 = 28; 5 = 24; 4 = 20; 3 = 16; 2 = 12; 1 = 8, u = below 8.

Now read through the mark scheme, question by question. 

2) Write a question-by-question analysis of your performance. For each question, write how many marks you got from the number available and identify any points that you missed by carefully studying the 'possible content' part of the mark scheme:

Example:

Q1: 2/2 Full marks

Q2: 1/2 - need to mark answers clearly

Q3: 3/8 marks - good use of media terminology add more detail about the specific csp.

Q4: good moments but add more detail of that specific csp.

Q5: fix incorrect mistakes such as Kiss Fm not using social media.

Additional points:  

3) Based on the whole of your learner response and my comments, choose one of the below LRs that you need to do, going forward (there may be more than one but please copy down just one to focus on for now):

LR1- Revise the CSP content so that I know facts about them such as names, dates which show I know the content well. 

LR2- Improve my use of media terminology so that I am using media specific words from the glossary and not just general words. 

LR3- Written English. Make sure my answers make sense and my SPAG (spelling, punctuation and grammar) are accurate so the reader can understand my work. 

LR4- Learn my Media theory so that I can apply it when it appears in questions (e.g. Blumler and Katz' Uses and Gratifications) 

LR5- Read the questions and make sure I am answering / engaging with the question and constructing an argument in the essay questions. 

www: you are starting to use media terminology a lot more confidently [using words like 'production' and 'distribution' and 'online' accurate so keep this up' you do mention some media theories so make sure you know these really well.

ebi: you need to revise the csps more so you are not being vague in your reference.You talk generally but to get better grade, you need add evidence to show you have studied + understood csps and media theories so you can apply them to questions.

Extension task: Focus on the 20-mark question (Q9). Write a full essay plan for this question using the indicative content in the mark scheme and with enough content to meet the criteria for the top level. This will be somewhere between 4-5 well-developed paragraphs planned in some detail.

    This is much better detail! Well done Krishmeet, you have really started to engage with your own work in a more reflective way. I know you did this later because of absence, but you have read and understood the comments and thought about ways to move forward. Now put this into practice, by making sure you focus in class and have your glossary with you every single lesson. I would like you to consider doing the extension question which is attempting the essay because, by next year, it would be helpful for you to have more experience of longer exam style essay questions. :)
