Paper 2 mock learner response

 1) Type up your feedback in full (you do not need to write mark/grade if you do not wish to).
WWW: Good knowledge on question 2

EBI: Mention other media texts for synoptic question


2) Did you succeed in meeting or exceeding your target grade for A-Level Media in this paper? If not, how many additional marks do you need to achieve your target grade in Paper 2?

These are the grade boundaries we've used (out of 84): 

A* = 71; A = 62, B = 52; C = 43; D = 33; E = 24

Now read through the real AQA mark scheme for Paper 2 and the examiner's report (see your Media teacher's Google Classroom for both of these documents).

3) Write a question-by-question analysis of your performance. For each question, write how many marks you got from your the number available and identify any points that you missed by carefully studying the AQA indicative content in the mark scheme.
1) 6/9 I should have explained more clearly linking to unseen
2) 20/25 don't speak about uneccessary texts
3) 17/25 More knowledge on each csp needed
4) 15/25 Add in knowledge from other media texts

4) Look at question 4 - the synoptic question. How many of the four key concepts did you cover in your answer? Write a new essay plan for this question using the indicative content in the mark scheme and taking care to include at least three of Language - Representations - Audience - Industries. You can use bullet points but make sure you offer enough content to meet the criteria for Level 5 (top level). This will be somewhere between 3-4 well-developed paragraphs planned in some detail.

David Gauntlett- Masculinity

  David Gauntlett: academic reading Read  this extract from Media, Gender and Identity by David Gauntlett . This is another university-level piece of academic writing so it will be challenging - but there are some fascinating ideas here regarding the changing representation of men and women in the media. 1) What examples does Gauntlett provide of the "decline of tradition"? Women are no longer seen as house wives or low-status workers Focus on men's emotions, need for advice and problems with masculinity instead of ideas of toughness, stubborn self-reliance, and emotional silence. The whole idea of "tradition" in modern media seems strange and unwanted  2) How does Gauntlett suggest the media influences the way we construct our own identities? He suggest that the media such as television programmes, pop songs, adverts, movies  and the internet all also provide numerous kinds of 'guidance', not necessarily in the obvious form  of advice-giving, but in the...
