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. WWW- Your written English (SPAG) has improved and you are using examples from the CSPs. EBI- Your evidence is too general and you need to give detailed examples. You need to use more subject specific media terms and revise key theories. My target grade is 6. My mark for this paper was 3. To achieve my target grade of a 6,I would need to get 9 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.

Walk And Talk Mock

 01.1 'Co-owner of a Lonely Heart' uses intertextuality to convey it's meaning. What is intertextuality? [2 marks] Intertextuyality is when one media text refers to another media text. For example, when Doctor Who appears in class. 01.2 How are narrative used to communicate meaning in the extract [8 marks] Propp's character theory states that heroes/villains/princess/helper. Evidence from the clip to help support my answer is Ram, when he comes and be the hero when the villain (who is Corakinus) starts to take his heart back from April which lead's to her being the princess because Ram has to save her from killing her own dad. The effect it has on the audience could be that when you can clearly tell that Corakinus is the villain because he is all in black with smoke and fire coming from him. Todorov's Theory of Equilibrium states that when everything is normal until an distraction happens and messes the normal which makes a new normal. Evidence from the clip, is...
