Learning conversation

  • What do you think has gone particularly well so far this year? What are your strengths?
So far, i think that Media has gone well so far due to the fact that i am able to complete the work at a standard i'm happy with and i understand most of the work within Media
Strengths = making good notes, organised etc.         

  • What is stopping you from achieving your goals? What threats might you face, (for example not enough time, lack of organisation, pressure from other subjects...)
Sometimes i don't have enough time in exams as i spend too long on questions and then have to rush other questions. 

  • Identify 3 specific targets for yourself for the rest of this year. They can be both academic and organisational goals.
- i would like to pass all of my subjects 
- find a balance between my social and academic life
- make sure i complete my work to a good standard 
  • What grade do you want to achieve in media studies?
I would like to get a B.

Attitude and Zoella - Identity and David Guantlet

Explore how Zoella and Attitude online manipulate audiences through ideology. Representations (singular, straightforward or challenging?)
