School closed: what now?

With schools closed and exams officially cancelled, we are very much in uncharted waters for exam students.

However, we are going to continue posting the remaining work you need to do. The main reason for this is that the government has not made it entirely clear how grades are going to be awarded but they have said that any student unhappy with the grade they are given can sit exams next year to try and increase their grade. In case any of us find ourselves in that position, we need to make sure we have completed the course and learned every CSP. This means we have a simple job to do: finish Music Video and complete the Film Industry CSPs. Firstly, check you've completed the following:

• Introduction to Music Video
• One Direction: History CSP case study
• Arctic Monkeys: I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor CSP case study

We'll post the Film Industry CSPs over the next couple of weeks.

We’ll be working on those up until Easter and then will see how things are looking after that.

I’m so sorry you won’t get the chance to prove how brilliant you are at Media but I’m hopeful many of you will choose A Level Media and we will get the chance to work with you again.

For now, we’ll email you the work each Monday and also post it to the Year 2 GCSE Media blog.
