D Day!

The deadline has arrived! You have until 3pm today to update your blog - beyond this point you should not edit, amend or add anything unless I come to you and advise you to do so in person.

You need to create a final blog post called 'Post Evaluation Production'. In this post you need to be clear about what you have done to improve your work and why. Do a mini evaluative paragraph about your final products.

Good luck!

Your Production Work

Your Production is worth 60 marks/ 60% of your coursework grade and therefore 30% of you whole AS Level.

You need to post your improvements on your blog by lunchtime today - I will be moderating what is there and if it is work I have already given you feedback on this is a waste of your time and mine and Mr Farr's.

Look at these examples: Example Work (OCR) where would your production fit in?

I gave you all a list of improvements and will give you another at the start of next week. It is easy to make a few amendments and launch up the levels or stay where you stand, which for some of you is a disappoiting E grade.

See me at lunch in E20 if you have any issues. Otherwise post away!

Deadlines

These deadlines are non-negotiable. 

Your evaluation first completed draft should be published on your blog by Wednesday 29th April. 

Any other amendments to your research and planning and production must be uploaded by 3pm on Friday 1st May. 

You will receive feedback w/b 4th May and any final amendments must be done no later than 3pm on Friday 8th May. 

THERE ARE TO BE NO ADDITIONS/ EDITS MADE TO YOUR BLOG FROM THIS POINT ON. 

Evaluation

Blog Posts

You should have been uploading drafts of your production work to your blog pre and post feedback. My production feedback (emailed to you recently) should also be posted.

Your finished production work needs to be on your blog by the end of the day on Wednesday 1st April.

Mr Farr, Miss Jones and I will be editing this before you return to school next term.

Progress Check

Drafting your Article

Today you will draft your article in Word. By the end of the lesson, you must print your first draft (the more complete this is, the more feedback you will get).

Your article needs to:
- Promote your fictional artist/ band
- Be presented in a format that is conventional to music magazines
- All features of layout/ design identified in your research

If you are not sure what to include/ need some inspiration then do more research and don't forget to create a blog post about it. Here are just a couple of articles to get you started...
