Media blogs: setting the standard

Your Media blog is where you will do the vast majority of your work as a Media student - so we need to make sure it looks professional. 

It makes sense to think of your blog like an exercise book - your work here will be marked and you'll also use it for crucial revision before assessments and exams.

These are the guidelines you need to follow when working on your Media blog:

1) Always write a post title that clearly states the piece of work you are producing. The correct post title will almost always be specified on the original blog task. Your post title goes here: 









2) Make sure your written English is perfect - just as you would in an exercise book. This means capital letters, full sentences and accurate spelling and grammar.

3) If you are answering questions on your blog, make sure you clearly number each question. Leave a line break between each question too.

4) When completing larger case study tasks, make sure you use subheadings as directed in the original task.

5) Save your work regularly and publish it before you log off. You can always go back and edit or finish your work but it's vital you don't close your browser before saving and publishing because that's how you can lose work.

6) If you're looking for the higher grades in Media, it's vital you answer questions in well-developed paragraphs and not single sentences. The depth and detail of you analysis will ultimately be what gets you to the top grades - so get into good habits on your blog from day one.

Finally, if you've changed any of your display settings in your blog then make sure it is easy to read and aesthetically pleasing to your reader. In other words, you're a Media student so make sure it looks like it's been designed by someone who knows what they're doing!

Set a high blogging standard from day one and you will be on the way to a top grade in Media!
