Students become the masters

Aim: 20-30 minute presentation tackling how to answer previous exam questions

We are going to cover all past papers and you are going to teach us how to answer the questions.

Scroll down - subject Media and Communication/ Type AS/A level/Qualification Media

Choose the month and year you've been assigned and print off the mark scheme and the report for that series. So you should have an exam paper, a mark scheme and a report. Read through and highlight comments that will be useful to share.

Find ways of making your presentation interesting, think of any good ways your teacher has helped you in revision and understanding of exams in the past. Plan a useful and practical q and a perhaps, a memory task etc

At its most basic your presentation should include:
- question, report and overall pointers for students
- underlining the main points of the question, what is it really asking you for?
- a breakdown of how you would plan the question if it was given to you in the exam with a paragraph by paragraph suggestions
- time at the end for questions and discussion


Past exam questions


JUNE 2015 - To what extent does media ownership have an impact on the successful distribution of media products in the media area you have studied?

What do the seven areas mean?

This revision booklet is a little out of date (exam questions, digital technologies and case studies) but it's an easy read and it covers quite comprehensively the seven areas the exam board wants you to be aware of. These are crucial.
