Mocks

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 in June.

The dates/times are (in case you've forgotten)...

  • MODULE 4 Mock for 13D - Tuesday 17-04, periods 1 & 2 (in P06)
  • MODULE 6 Mock for 13D - Thursday 29-03, periods 7 & 8 (in E01)
  • MODULE 4 Mock for 13C - Monday 16-04, periods 1 & 2 (in E01)
  • MODULE 6 Mock for 13C - Tuesday 27-03, periods 3 & 4 (in P06)

Your revision/preparation should be...

MODULE 6
  • Read through the 13D '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 (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).

No - there isn't a revision class tomorrow...it's a mistake on the timetable.

You should, though, be doing revision - independently - for the med 4 mock after Easter!
