As you will have seen with your recent assessment, it is important we are revising terminology and theory on an ongoing basis and making sure there are no gaps as the course continues.
MIGRAIN index
Keeping an index of all your work is extremely good practice from a revision perspective. Not only does this keep the concepts and media terminology fresh in your mind but it will also highlight if you've missed anything through absence or trips. Your index should currently include the following:
1) Media consumption audit
2) Language: Reading an image - advert analyses
3) Reception theory
4) Semiotics: icons, indexes and symbols
5) Genre: Factsheets and genre study questions
6) Narrative: Factsheet questions
For your index, the text should link to YOUR corresponding blogpost so you can access your work on each key concept quickly and easily. This also means you if you have missed anything you can now catch up with the work/notes and won't underperform in the assessment due to gaps in your knowledge.
Important: your index needs to be completed during the lesson.
Folder check
An organised folder is absolutely vital when it comes to keeping notes for revision in future. At the beginning of the year you started an A4 ringbinder folder with dividers - now we need to check we have all our notes in chronological order and a space for our marked assessment when it is returned after half-term.
Use the folder check self-assessment sheet to check you have everything in order then simply sign it yourself and ask your teacher to countersign it to confirm you are up-to-date. Simple!
