The next few weeks in A-level media studies

The next few weeks are going to be a little different, because of the upcoming mock exam (KA4). Please note that while these dates are correct at the time of writing this post, things may change.

The department and the college are operating under the assumption that we will not be returning to normal lessons until September.

All the industry stuff

Monday 25th May - Half term holiday


Take it easy!

1 - Monday 1st June - Mock exam preparation week


Exam technique and essay writing skills

2 - Monday 8th June - KA4: mock week


You will have the week to complete your mock exams and assessments. There will be no formal teaching in this week to allow you to do this!

3 - Monday 15th June - Progression week


What do you want to do after college? You have a week to plan, and to complete your 'My Plans' document with your progress coach

4 - Monday 22nd June - Videogame industry week 3: Audience topics


Finishing off the videogame industry

5 - Monday 29th June - Radio industry week 1: background and context

Face to face learning conversations (more information on this when it becomes available!!). Additional work set to finish off the radio industry

Summer holiday

Once we return in September, our plan is to jump straight in to the music video coursework. But this is too far ahead to consider for now. Just make sure all your planning and preparation is ready to go!
