Magazines assessment feedback and LR

 WWW: An excellent, in-depth answer for Q2 on media language – you cover a range of conventions and connotations and discuss the potential meanings they create. But you are missing question 3!

EBI: For Q1, you need to answer the question – what is a convention? It is a typical feature – and then your magazine cover examples are perfect. You also need to keep an eye on your written English and Media terminology – things like using capital letters correctly and writing ‘denote’ and ‘connote’ rather than denotate/connotate. These are not major errors but they are important to get right if we want to aim for that 7-9 top grade.

Most importantly, you need to complete the whole assessment! Q3 is 12 marks so worth more than half the assessment – make sure you complete the final question.

LR: Complete the missing question in your assessment.

Then, create a new blog post called ‘Magazines feedback and learner response’. Copy and paste this feedback into the blog post and write THREE things you will revise or practice for the Magazines topic before your next exam or assessment.

 WWW: This is a seriously impressive, in-depth response. You’ve written three well-developed paragraphs which is exactly what we want for a 12-mark question and you’ve also made detailed and specific reference to the Reveal CSP. I particularly like the way you have covered a range of representations of female celebrities and looked at the impact this may have on audiences.

 

EBI: Written English is still a factor to focus on – things like capital letters for the name of the magazine etc.

 

The main area to work on for this representation question is your use of the words reinforce and subvert/subversive. These are key words when discussing representation and remember that they refer to the representation we usually see in most of the media. So your point in the second paragraph about celebrities being shown to be dramatic and overly emotional is not subversive – it actually reinforces the stereotype we usually see of celebrities in the media. I think here you are confusing subversive with negative which is a great lesson to learn for future assessments.
