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...

Deadline: Friday 13th March

Magazine Article Research and Planning

It is important that you work on your Research and Planning today in lesson and continue with this at home, as so much of your production work can only be done in school on Fireworks. 

I will be checking your progress today and issuing relevant sanctions and rewards. 

All of you should have already produced an analysis, which focuses on layout. 

Most of your have started to consider layouts (x4 designs) including all features. 

Magazine Media Glossary

Some of you will have considered the content of your magazine article (and may have typed some ideas up in word) 

Today, you all need to get these complete by next lesson when we will begin to draft the content of your article. 

Homework

Some of you are failing to meet deadlines and falling behind as a result. This homework gives you the chance to catch up. If you don't take it you will have to stay after school next week. We will update the spreadsheet accordingly, which may result in yellow cards and/ or phone calls home.

Deadline: Tuesday 10th March.
