In the first three lessons of A2 media we started of by first filling out a skills assessment sheet and discussing how these skills could help us in media A2. We also started assessing and marking our selves from one to four on each skill to see what we need to improve on. I found this task helpful but also quite tricky because I feel that I need to improve on how to self reflect myself. I learnt from this task that I feel I need to improve on Independent research, redrafting work and also try out library resources to help with revision. We then started discussing in pairs and as a class about what we felt about our previous exam grades and coursework grades and how we could've improved them. I felt that I was very happy getting a B for my Exam but was very disappointed in getting a C for my coursework and felt that I could've improved on; planning, filming much more, should've created a much more detailed storyboard with script and should've got props much earlier. I feel that these first lessons about self reflecting our work really helped because now I know what I need to improve on and really focus on during A2 coursework and revision.
Ben, good self reflective comments, and you have identified some issues that you know you need to work on. In terms of the coursework, you should definitely retake, and I'll be discussing with the class soon about how this will work.
ReplyDeleteWeekly Summary w/c 9th Sept: You have made a good start to lessons, and have been participating well in class. You need to make more effort at remaining focused at all times, and working on your patience with others in group work! Saying that, you did really push your group to get their quicktime analysis done on time. Well done.
