Mocks & Revision

For all Year 13s...

Don't forget...mock exams are fast approaching and you should all be revising hard for them NOW. This is your only chance to practise these questions and develop these skills under full test conditions so make the most of the opportunity - if you haven't prepared you'll be wasting both your own and your teacher's time as the only feedback you'll get is 'do some work' - not very helpful when the purpose is to help you improve for the real thing on June 12th.

The dates/times are (during the first week back after the Easter holiday)...

• MODULE 6 Mock for 13c1 & 13c2 - Wednesday 23-04, periods 2 & 3 (working through break)

• MODULE 4 Mock for 13c1 &13c2 - Thursday 24-04, periods 5 & 6
  

• MODULE 4 Mock for 13d1 - Tuesday 22-04, periods 5 & 6
  

• MODULE 6 Mock for 13d1 - Thursday 24-04, periods 1 & 2
  

Your revision/preparation should be...

MODULE 6

• Read through the Med 6 'Issues and Debates' blogs.

• Read through the handouts on 'Issues & Debates' (Marxism, Uses & Gratifications, etc.).

• Read the Media Keywords A-Z handout (the big one).

• Practise note-taking/comparing two different texts - one moving image, one print - (MIGRAIN, WC: SHEP, Issues & Debates/Theory) for half hour stints.
  

MODULE 4

• Read through all notes and handouts on the two key topics...

• Representation - Representation pack (cartoons), Gauntlett, Mulvey, etc.

• Genre - Genre pack, Slasher pack, repertoire of elements worksheets, etc.
  

• Read through all 'Representation' & 'Genre' past questions.

• Write essay plans for as many different questions as possible.

• Complete at least one timed essay for each topic (Rep, Genre - 45 minutes/question).

And, obviously, the best way to support your revision is to turn up to the (compulsory) Easter Revision Class which is on Monday April 14th from 9am-4pm.
