For the OCR moderator: student blog links and information

Dear Moderator

All the students blog hyperlinks are below. There are 7 candidates for The Vale Academy 44305 and 1 student for Sir John Nelthorpe 44303. These two centres combine to create Brigg Sixth Form.

The student blogs comprise:

• Hyperlink to the website - product 2
• Final product 1 either magazine pages or music video
• Drafting, research and planning

I have also burnt to disc the music videos and the magazine pages to ensure you can view them as you wish and at  a good quality.

I have also burnt a disc for the students cover sheets in order for you to access the scroll down and all of my comments.

I do hope this aids the moderation process.
Many thanks
Miss King

Welcome to OCR A Level Media Studies

Summer Tasks

1] Media Studies Holiday Challenge : THEORY

2] Research: Media forms. Type into google What are media forms? You will find definitions, other students work and some really useful websites like: http://www.mediaknowall.com/gcse/keyconceptsgcse/medforms/medforms.php

http://www.sparknotes.com/us-government-and-politics/american-government/the-media/section1.rhtml

Avoid Wikipedia! Present your findings in a blog post. Blog title Research: Media Forms

Support your findings with screen captures.

3] Research: the history of the Media Industry : magazines. [This is your post title.]

Create a ppt and upload it to slideshare. Then embed the ppt onto your blog by pasting the embed code into the blog page- you have to click html on the blog page in order to embed a code.

•          Select magazine Media institution. Remember- Institutions are big companies that work in the same industry – in this case they produce or distribute magazines.
•         Look at the history of the company – when did they start? How? Who owns the company? What were their first magazine products? Add screen captures. How have they grown over the years?
•         Have a look at either Bauer, Guardian Group, , IPC,

Key Tips about using ppt:

      Use plenty of slides and add logos/ images etc to make each slide look interesting. More slides with less text is preferable

      Do not use any other Media students work.

      Have a good style and size of font so it is easy to read.

This is our old blog. http://valemediastudies.blogspot.co.uk/

You will see, as you scroll down the homepage, where homework is posted.

If you click on the links on the right hand side, then you will be able to look at other students blogs and it will give you an idea of what your blog should look like. I suggest you go back to the September posts – this is where you will see past students research. However, remember they were on the old course. Your course is new and your work will be different.

This is our new blog!
