End of Year 1: Learner response

With your exams returned, you have reached the end of the first year of GCSE Media. Well done!

Your Paper 1, Paper 2 and overall result may or may not be something you're happy with but the main thing is that we learn from the process and make sure we improve further next year.

We'll work through these papers question-by-question next year to help prepare you for the next set of mock exams. For now, as a final blog task, work through the following tasks to complete a learner response on your first year on GCSE Media:

GCSE Media Studies Year 1: Learner Response

1) Are you happy with your End of Year 1 exam results?

2) Why? Explain how you felt the exams went and your reaction to the results.

3) What do you feel are your strongest and weakest topic areas from what we've studied so far (e.g. Magazines, TV, Advertising etc.) Explain why.

4) What will you do differently for the next set of mock exams in November/December?

5) What grade do you hope to achieve in GCSE Media Studies this time next year?


Coursework and summer project

Once you've completed this short learner response, you can return to your coursework summer project - researching and planning the production work we'll be creating in September.

Good luck!
