School closed - what now?

With school now closed for the majority of students, we are going to have to make our A Level Media lessons entirely blog-based for the next few weeks.

This won’t be too different to how we work normally – we’re lucky to have our blog system already set up and ready to go. The immediate priority is finishing our current units, Advertising and Marketing and Television, and getting through to Easter.

The first thing you need to do is check all the recent work is posted on your blog and complete. This means the following for Advertising and Marketing:


And the following for Television:


Most of you will have these done already but it’s worth checking first.

In terms of new Media work, from now on the week’s work will be emailed to you and put on the Year 12 Media blog as normal. You can then work on that during the week when is convenient for you – but aim to have it complete and posted on your blog by the following Monday. We’ll also email you new work on Monday too.

Remember, if you need more work to do then use the resources we have available – for example, our Media Magazine archive contains hundreds of articles on a huge range of topics. If you have the A Level Media textbook or theory book, you can work your way through that. Alternatively, spend some time watching brilliant TV or film to increase the variety of media you consume (such as watching the rest of Deutschland 83). 

We are living in very strange times but if we can keep on top of our work things WILL settle down eventually and we can look forward to some fantastic A Level grades next year.
