I am appalled by the lack of work that I witnessed this morning. I am still carrying with me a HUGE sense of disappointment. I do not expect A Level students to produce work that offers such an enormous lack of of intellectual or creative engagement. RAISE YOUR GAME. You lot have been magnificent thus far on the course but I am genuinely shocked by the quality of the creative work that was presented to me today. You have ignored the homework task.
HOMEWORK: I have made it very clear that I expect to upload a lot more footage to the Macs on Thursday. It is not the quality of the work that irritates me, it is the complete lack of engagement. How can a 15 second shot of the BHS common room be considered to be suitable for an A Level homework? WAKE UP.
SHOW ME YOU CARE. AT THE MOMENT YOUR MEDIA TEACHER IS RATHER ANGRY!
Here are some introductions to provide you with some ideas. Stick to the brief. Narrative themes? Location? Character? Students also need to offer clues as to genre and time!
