December PPE Paper 2: 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-There's clearly potential here: you know the basic terminology and your Q4 essay response makes some good points. Now we need to develop the depth and consistency to do that throughout.

EBI- ~Revision! Narrative Theory, CSP's. You need to know the products in real detail.

      ~Question focus:you need to answer the question and stay focused on it throughout the 20-          marks essay. Topic sentences using key words from the question will help with this.  

2) On a scale of 1-10 (1 = low, 10 = high), how much revision and preparation did you do for your Media PPE?

6-7 I revised through flashcards but dint revise much for television. 

3) Use the mark scheme for this assessment to identify three points you could have made in any of the questions in Section A (Television). Look for the indicative content in the mark scheme - these are the suggested answers from AQA. (Note: the mark scheme for Question 5 has changed as the CSPs have been updated since this exam paper was first published).

 -Similarities between Susan in An Unearthly Child and April in Co-

Owner of a Lonely Heart. Both girls are intelligent, articulate, high

achieving students challenging the dominant stereotypes of

teenagers.

-are seen to challenge parental authority and both behave petulantly

when they don’t get their own way.

-The group is diverse and represents a range of teenage

identities, male/female, white/Asian/black, straight/gay.

4) There are three 20-mark essay questions in Media Paper 2. What will you do to improve your performance in the 20-mark essays in the March PPEs? 

Focus on what the question is asking and use what question asks eg: narrative theory and terminology.

5) Question 5 is a synoptic question that requires you to refer to other CSPs from the whole GCSE Media course. What other CSPs could you have used for this Question 5 on whether media products are just created to make money?

Other CSP's that could be used for question 5 are MCU, I Daniel Blake,NHS Represent, BBC.
