TV assessment: Learner response

The TV assessment was your first test on an in-depth area of study - with a tough postmodernism question thrown in for good measure.

This is an excellent example of the type of question AQA can hit us with and developing our skills in responding to such questions will help us massively in the actual two-hour exams.

The first part of your learner response is to look carefully at your mark, grade and comments from your teacher. If anything doesn't make sense, ask your teacher - it's crucial we're learning from the process of assessments and feedback. 

Your learner response is as follows:

Create a new blog post called 'TV assessment learner response' and complete the following tasks on your coursework blog:

1) Type up your feedback in full (you don't need to write the mark and grade if you want to keep this confidential).

2) Read the whole mark scheme for this assessment carefully. Identify at least one potential point that you missed out on for each question in the assessment (even if you got full marks for the question).

3) The first question demanded a response using postmodern terminology. Write a definition here of the three main terms:

Bricolage:
Pastiche:
Intertextuality:

4) Read this exemplar answer for the 25-mark question in the assessment. Select a quote from the essay for each of the following aspects from the mark scheme:

a) analysis of the products that focuses on contexts and ideological positioning

b) use of media theory

c) a judgement or conclusion on the question

d) examples from the TV CSPs

e) use of media terminology 

5) Based on this assessment, write three things you need to revise before the upcoming end of Year 12 exams.

If you do not finish your learner response in the lesson your work is returned, this needs to be completed at home by your next coursework lesson.
