Exam case studies: Learner response

Your exam case studies are a crucial part of our preparation for the Media exams at the end of the course.

Videogames and Online, Social and Participatory Media are in-depth topics which means we will need to write longer essay-based answers on these topics. The questions could focus on any of the key concepts - Language, Industries, Audience and Representation - so it's vital we complete these case studies to the best of our ability.

Exam case studies: Learner response blog task

You will have received an email with feedback from your teacher on your first two Videogames exam case studies - Lara Croft Go and Kim Kardashian: Hollywood. You need to create a new blogpost on your blog called 'Exam case studies - Learner response' and complete the following tasks:

1) Read your feedback carefully and then copy and paste the whole email (ALL text) into the blogpost.

2) Complete the learner response task you have been given. In most cases, this is going back to your original Lara Croft or Kardashian blogposts and improving, changing or adding an answer. In this case, make the improvements requested and then paste a link to the new, improved blogpost. It will look like this:

New, improved Lara Croft blogpost with LR complete:

This needs to be completed in the lesson time allocated. Good luck!
