OSP: Assessment learner response

Your Online, Social and Participatory media assessment was a great opportunity to test yourself on two key aspects of Media Paper Two - an unseen question and a 25-mark synoptic style essay.

The first part of your learner response is to look carefully at your mark and 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 as we move towards your mocks and exams at the end of this year. The second focuses on using the mark scheme as a learning resource and developing our skills in essay planning and structuring.

Your learner response is as follows:

Create a new blog post on your Media 1 Exam blog called 'OSP assessment learner response' and complete the following tasks:

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 (posted on your Google Classroom). Identify three specific aspects from Figure 1 (the Bioshock Infinite game cover) that you could have mentioned in your answer (e.g. selection of images, colour scheme, text etc).

3. Now use the mark scheme to identify three potential points that you could have made in your essay for Question 2 (Jenkins - participatory culture or Curran and Seaton's - concentration of ownership).

4. Write down two other CSPs from across the course that you could have referenced in your essay which link to digital convergence in relation to production, distribution and consumption and how they have impacted their products.

5. Use your exam response, the mark scheme and any other resources you wish to use to write a detailed essay plan for Question 2. Make sure you are planning at least three well-developed paragraphs in addition to an introduction (thesis statement) and conclusion.

6. Finally, identify three key areas you plan to revise from the OSP unit before the January mock exams (e.g. CSP elements of media theories) having looked at your feedback from this assessment.

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 exam lesson. Do not forget to tag this assessment in your folder.
