Year 11 Paper 1 assessment: Learner Response

 Year 11 Paper 1 assessment: Learner Response

Create a blogpost called 'Paper 1 baseline assessment learner response'.

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

WWW: Rose, excellent response to O4 on Tatler in relation to contexts of social + historical.

Next steps: Attempt to complete some unseen print advert analysis, Q2.1 to ensure you bare conducting textual analysis appropriately.

30/42 Grade 6.

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.

-The text is positioned over the top of the tyre to signify the challenge and create

synergy between the image and the message in the text.

- The word battle has connotations of fighting and trying to triumph over an enemy.

-‘Begins off-field’ connotes preparation and a subversive look at sporting events

(focussing on the training rather than the event itself) and underpins the above

connotation.

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. 

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

falling, bus stopping, people shouting).

-Character types can be seen as outdated stereotypes of masculinity and femininity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.

-The use of intertextuality: The narrative references Roman Holiday so rewards

audiences who have knowledge of the glamour of old Hollywood.

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.

-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.

• Marketing Black Widow was a challenge due to the Covid pandemic and it therefore

did not make as much money at the box office as other Marvel films despite this

marketing and promotion.

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.)

I will go over the blogs and learn to add a variety of options and examples which clearly answers the question so next time I hit all the points needed in the mark scheme. I will analyse each example I do with an explanation of why that things has been done. Finally I will read the inserts properly and also the questions.
