A2 Media Studies: Intro to the Evaluation
- 1. A2 Practical Evaluation (Yay...you’re favourite part!!!)
- 2. Learning Objectives • Do I understand the success criteria for the evaluation? • Can I use the success criteria and apply it to my own learning? • Can I differentiate which areas of my learning will be relevant to each section of the evaluation?
- 3. To start... • Think about the AS Evaluation you completed. • What do you think you did well? • Which areas would you liked to have improved? EXT: Think about your use of technology how are you going to match/exceed that this year?
- 4. Success Criteria Have you shown...? • Understanding of forms and convention used in productions • Understanding of the role and use of new media in various stages of the production • Understanding of the combination of main product and ancillary texts • Understanding of the significance of audience feedback • Skill in choice of form in which to present the evaluation • Ability to communicate • Use of digital technology or ICT in the evaluation.
- 5. The evaluation questions... 1. In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products? 2. How effective is the combination of your main products and ancillary texts? 3. What have you learned from your audience feedback? 4. How did you use new media technologies in the construction and research, planning and evaluation stages? Which of these questions are similar to your AS Evaluation? Which ones do you think are going to require new evaluation skills?
- 6. Break it down... • In pairs you have one (or two) of the evaluation questions. • In your pairs break down the question thinking about: a) What are the key words in the question? What is it asking of you? b) What areas of your work you might discuss in your answer? c) What examples from your portfolio that you may need to include in the answer? d) Which areas of the success criteria do you think directly link with your question? (EXT): Try to come up with a basic plan for the question.
- 7. Sharing is Caring... • As a class you are going to share your ideas and together you will build on your answers. 1. Do you think the other pairs have evaluated the needs of their question correctly? 2. What other elements could the question be looking for in your answer?
