Year 11 Paper 1 assessment: Learner Response

 1) Type up your feedback in full (you do not need to write mark/grade if you do not wish to).

 total marks = 23 = grade 5

www: you  clearly have knowledge  of terminology and the csps plus your unseen analysis(q2) is close to top level  . best of  all , i think you could  move even higher with a few small  improvements 

EBI: question focus: in q4 and q7 you need much sharper focus on the question use the wording in the question and stick to it - see the mark scheme for example points for these questions

2) Look at the mark scheme for this assessment. For Question 2 (12 mark unseen) use the indicative content in the mark scheme to identify three points that you could have referred to in your answer.

Upper case and bold – connotations of the important, powerful message of the

image and copy.

• The white text against a black background and the darkness of the image makes the

writing stand out and anchor the message of the text about training being important.

Body stance / position connotes that the subject is ready to face and overcome any

opponent.

3) For Question 3 (Galaxy - narrative features) use the mark scheme to write down the main narrative theories and how we can link them to the Galaxy advert CSP. 

props narrative theory-Character types can be seen as outdated stereotypes of masculinity and femininity

(‘damsel in distress’ scenario) with Audrey Hepburn cast as the ‘heroine’ character

type (Propp) with the male chauffeur coming to her aid as the ‘Hero’ archetype and

rescuing her. However, another interpretation would see Hepburn as the ‘Hero’ of

the narrative, taking matters into her own hands and forcing the driver of the car into

the ‘Helper/Donor’ position, enabling her to complete her quest.

Todorov equilibrium  theory-  There is disequilibrium at the start when the village is associated with chaos (fruit

falling, bus stopping, people shouting). This is juxtaposed with the calm, heroic

persona that the audience encounters when they meet Hepburn and, when the new

equilibrium is restored at the end, the sweeping vista suggests endless possibilities /

traditional happy ending at the closure of the narrative.

4) Now look at Question 4 - Tatler and social/cultural contexts. Use the mark scheme to identify three points you could have made in your answer here.

• Serif font for title connotes formality, high class and how well

established the magazine is (Britain’s oldest magazine).

• Use of green colour scheme (fresh and new) with white text (style,

class, sophistication).

• Recent cultural events referenced in cover lines – ‘See EU later’

references Brexit while ‘Love in the time of Corona’ reflects Covid

pandemic. Suggests that wealthy British people want to know the

latest news and current affairs.

5) On Section B, focus on Question 7 - film industry and Black Widow. Use the mark scheme to identify three ways Black Widow was marketed to its audience. 

Specific IMAX promotions with 22 minutes of the film shot in 1.90:1 aspect ratio

especially for IMAX cinemas.

• Section of the Marvel website with gallery, story synopsis, character posters and

opportunities to buy or stream the movie.

• Social media profiles on TikTok, Instagram, Twitter and Facebook. Social media and

YouTube advertising was also heavily used by Marvel to promote the film including

using tweets from audience members on massive billboards.

6) Finally, write down three things you are going to work on before your next mock exam in December (e.g. time management; revising CSPs etc.)

 the main thing I need to work on is not  time management but learning all the csps and and learning all the terminology  this could help me get all the way up to a grade 7 

If you don't finish this LR in the lesson your papers are returned, complete for homework - due date on Google Classroom.
