A2 revision sessions after half term

Dear A2 Media students
I have reworked your usual timetabled classes for the two days before the exam. I am hoping that these times will be more convenient for you ( no 9 o'clock starts!), and that you have longer sessions to revise in.  These sessions are open to ALL A2 Media students.
Bring any practice essays, notes and questions with you. These sessions will be guided by YOU.

Times / dates as follows:
Monday 6th June 11-12.30 A9
Tuesday 7th June 10.20-12:30 (postmodernism will be 11:30-12:30) and 2-3

In the meanwhile, you can continue to email us essays/ questions. medialeyton@gmail.com

***AS MEDIA STUDENTS: A final chance to improve your music magazine 6th January 2016***

Please attend a workshop on Wednesday 6th January at 2.30-5.30. We will be based in rooms A9 and A10.  Here we will be able to support you in making final improvements to the music magazine, using individual action points. I suggest that ALL AS MEDIA STUDENTS attend this, as  you can all improve your magazines. For some of you, this will make the difference of an A level grade.

If you intend to come along to this workshop, you will have needed to draft your Evaluation over the Xmas break.

Please let us know if you will NOT be able to attend, and we will mark the existing version of your magazine on your blog.

Into Film Festival- Workshop with journalist Anna Smith

On 11th November the AS Media students travelled to the new Regent's Street Cinema to attend a talk and workshop with noted journalist Anna Smith. She told us about how she got into journalism, and in particular her experiences as a film journalist for magazines such as Empire, Time Out and Sight and Sound.  She also spoke about her writing for music magazines and women's magazines and gave us invaluable tips on networking, developing a career and journalism, working to deadlines and how to engage an audience.  Leyton students asked a range of interesting questions and impressed Anna with their intelligence and enthusiasm.  Students were able to use this opportunity to help them plan for the journalism they are writing for their own music magazine.

*****AS Media Magazine deadline***** Monday 6th December 2015

Come along to A26 at lunchtimes if you need to.  The software you need is also available on all other college computers, including those in The Hub.  On Monday we will be checking your magazines are on your blogs, and we will start work on the Evaluation. No excuses!

****A2 Media students- coursework deadline extension***

Dear all
A number of you have been to see us requesting an extension to the deadline. We are aware that a large number of you have been very busy preparing for university interviews, portfolios etc.  We do have a little leeway and can delay the assessment of your coursework until immediately after half term. So if you need it, you can use half term to complete the coursework.  WE WILL ASSESS on Monday 23rd February- so your deadline is 9am on this day. So DO NOT CHANGE YOUR BLOG after this date.
We hope this helps reduce the pressure and enables you to produce the very best work you are able.
Vanessa and Amy

***AS Foundation Portfolio coursework deadline*** Wednesday 21st January 2015

This is a reminder that the deadline for the coursework is this Wednesday 21st January at 4.30.  All of the tasks 1-12 should be on your blog, along with work in progress and reflections on your progress throughout the project.  All tasks should be very clearly labelled. Use the assignment brief on moodle (AS Media>Assignments and Assessments>Foundation Portfolio assignment 201415) to check that you have all tasks on the blog, and they are of a quality you are happy with.

If you feel there is a strong and valid reason why you cannot meet Wednesday's deadline, you MUST speak to your class teacher BEFORE Wednesday's deadline to discuss the possibility of an extension. DO NOT make any edits to your blog after this time or date as we will start to assess, and this could invalidate marks not just for you, but for all students.

We look forward to seeing your finished blogs!

A2 DEADLINE

Another reminder that your deadline for the Evaluation is TODAY Thursday 6th March at 4.20.
Over the weekend you can then have time to go over your blog, check it's all up to date, and make any necessary improvements.  The deadline for everything to be on your blog and ready to mark is Monday 10th March at 4.20

Calling all A2 media students: DEADLINE is looming!!

This is a reminder that your deadline for the Evaluation is Thursday 6th March.  This means that after half term, you only have a week and half to get this completed and uploaded.  Over half term you need to make sure that you spend ENOUGH time on this element of the coursework. It is worth 20% of the coursework project! By Monday 24th January I expect you to bring to class a really good draft response of all four questions.  I expect that over the break you will have also researched and thought about which technologies you are going to use to present the answers-- and that they are fit for purpose.  In other words, use the week and a half after half term to get your answers refined and presented using appropriate technology

And a final reminder: Your deadline for EVERYTHING to be on your blog, improved to a quality you are happy with, is Monday 10th March.

If you need to show me any draft work over half term, you could email me on Vanessa.clyne@leyton.ac.uk and / or medialeyton@gmail.com
