This assessment will be in the first week back and like your baseline assessment it will be a MEST3 Section B essay. Revise everything from your index and also look over your learner response for both the recent blog essay and your baseline assessment in September. That feedback will be important in identifying how you will improve in the upcoming assessment.
Christmas homework - additional revision/resources
There are plenty of resources out there to help you prepare for your MEST3 Section B assessment in January AND write your critical investigation first draft.
You will obviously be looking over your two indexes of our News case study work AND all the NDM stories that you have collected over the last term. However, there is plenty more out there. Anything you read in our Media Magazine archive will help to give you a wider perspective on media debates and every issue has several articles with a new/digital media focus. We also have an archive of 160+ A Level Media Studies Factsheets that we have subscribed to - in fact, these are brilliant for both critical investigations and the exam topic.
You'll find our Media Magazine archive here and the Media Factsheets are available on the M: Media Shared drive > Resources > A Level > Media Factsheets.
In particular, the following Factsheets will be useful for the exam:
050 'We-Media' and Democracy
053 Journalism in the New Media Age: The effect of online technology
071 Citizen Journalism: from Producer to Audience
088 The Impact of New Media on Politics
104 Audiences in the Digital Age
131 Social Media and the News Agenda
There are plenty for you to look through for your Critical Investigation too - horror film, gender, post-9/11 Hollywood and more. Plus one that we could all use for both MEST3 Section B essays AND our critical investigations:

Remember: these resources are all for you - the more you use them, the better you will do!
