The most important aspect of any mock exam is making mistakes and learning from them. With this in mind, after completing this learner response on the mock exams we will take on an in-class Walk-and-Talk Paper 1 mock exam to put it all into practice and develop our exam timing and technique.
Mock exams learner response: blog tasks
Today, we need to closely analyse our performance across both papers and identity specific ways we will improve for the real exams on Monday 13 and Monday 20 May. Complete the following learner response tasks in a new blogpost on your Media blog called 'March mock exams learner response':
1) Type up any comments you can find in your papers - these may be on individual questions or at the end of the paper. In addition, write something you've learned from going through the two papers in class.
2) Which paper did you do better in?
3) Why do you think you did better in that paper?
4) Focusing on Paper 1, write down three things you need to improve on before the real exams. This may be a particular section or type of question (e.g. unseen analysis, 20 mark essay) or a particular type of media or CSP (e.g. advertising or NHS Represent).
5) Now look at Paper 2. Write down three things you need to improve on for Paper 2 before the real exams. Again, this might be a topic, type of question or specific skill.
Extension task: take some revision cards and start revising the six things you have identified above.
The lesson will be a walkthrough of the exam papers so you may need to complete this learner response for your homework - due date on Google Classroom.
