Year 13 New/Digital Media baseline assessment

Your baseline assessment in New and Digital Media will be in the week commencing Monday 21 September. We're being generous and giving you the question in advance:

• Developments in new/digital media mean that audiences can now have access to a greater variety of views and values. To what extent are audiences empowered by these developments?

Plan/revise your answer for this question (using the PowerPoint from last term, and your own research) for a one hour timed essay.

• Here's the Mark Scheme for the question (June 2010).

• Here's a C grade model answer.

It's out of 48 and the grade boundaries are as follows...

• A: 37 (77%)
• B: 31 (65%)
• C: 25 (52%)
• D: 19 (40%)
• E: 13 (27%)

Important note: If you do not reach your A2 minimum target grade (always much lower than we're aiming in A2 Media) then you will re-sit this assessment after school.
