Learning conversation - first year version

A learning conversation is a chance to catch up with your teacher at key points throughout the course, and to discuss anything that is going particularly well, or anything that might be concerning you.

Most importantly, you also set goals for the coming weeks. Having a goal helps with organisation, and allows you to become a more effective Media Studies student.


  • What do you think has gone particularly well so far this year? What are your strengths?
  • 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...)
  • Identify 3 specific targets for yourself for the rest of this year. They can be both academic and organisational goals.
  • What grade do you want to achieve in media studies?
  • Do you have any suggestions about the course?
  • Do you have any learning needs that you would like your teacher to know about? Don't fill this out, but this is something you will discuss with your teacher, so keep it in mind.
