Baseline assessment: Learner response

 Create a new blog post called 'Y13 baseline assessment learner response' and complete the following tasks:

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: Rubana solid effort for Q3 lots of analysis of both magazines CSPs but at times responding to the question- see indicative content ( mark scheme) 

EBI: consider audiences and industries for magazine CSPS for Q3. For Q1 give specific examples from newsbeat 

2) Focusing on the BBC Newsbeat question, write three ways it helps to fulfil the BBC's mission statement that you didn't include in your original assessment answer. Use the mark scheme for ideas.

  • Newsbeat offers educational content through some of the news stories selected to be in the daily bulletins. Examples include a Newsbeat story on a project highlighting street harassment of women which serves to educate both male and female listeners on the impact of harassment on victims.

  • Newsbeat informs Radio 1 listeners about the news – important events going on in the U and around the world including breaking news and developing stories. This includes politics economics, crime, sport and entertainment. The BBC’s remit demands that it offer informative content to all audience demographics and this helps fulfil its remit for reaching teenagers and young adults with news content.

    • 3) Question two asked you how useful media effects theories are in understanding the audience response to War of the Worlds. Complete the following:

    Gerbner's Cultivation theory: useful or not useful? Why?

    Useful as it mentions the affect of high frequency media users are more susceptible and believes things easier and quicker, they are more passive. 

    Frankfurt School's Hypodermic Needle model: useful or not useful? Why?

    useful- 

    Stuart Hall's Reception theory: useful or not useful? Why?

    useful- preferred readings as some people liked it and oppositional readings to certain audiences as they got scared and believed that the news is real and not fictional. 

    4) Write a full essay plan for the 25-mark Magazines question. The mark scheme contains plenty of ideas you can use here. Your plan should include notes/bullet points addressing the following:

    Introduction: one sentence answering the original question and laying out your argument clearly.

    Paragraph 1 content/ideas:

    CSP GQ magazine : Audience 

    Paragraph 2 content/ideas:

    CSP GQ magazine : Industries and both CSP 

    Paragraph 3 content/ideas:

    CSP The gentlewoman: Audience

    Paragraph 4 content/ideas:

    CSP The gentlewoman : Industries and both CSP 

    Conclusion: sum up your argument a final time in one sentence

    5) Finally, identify three key skills/topics you want to work on in A Level Media this year before the final exams in the summer.

    Audiences and industries , writing essays and answering the question right.

Their conversation was mature and moreover despite the old man not being good towards them but they didn't act the same towards him but instead helped him. Part 2) Media Magazine theory drop: Semiotics 1) What did Ferdinand de Saussure suggest are the two parts that make up a sign? Ferdinand de Saussure said that anything can be interpreted as a sign and signs are made up of two parts – the signifier and the signified. 2) What does ‘polysemy’ mean? Media texts being interpreted in multiple, and sometimes contradictory ways by their audiences. (signifier can have multiple signified
