What will be studied this term

This term, Year 11 will be completing a controlled assessment on: Imaginative writing. Studentshave to produce two pieces of linked writing as directed by the OCR examining body.

The tasks will be chosen by KSSC staff from those offered by OCR. In addition there will beopportunities to improve previously assessed tasks.

Students will:

Write to communicate clearly, effectively and imaginatively, using and adapting forms andselecting vocabulary appropriate to task and purpose in ways that engage the reader.

Organise information and ideas into structured and sequenced sentences, paragraphs andwhole texts, using a variety of linguistic and structural features to support cohesion and overallcoherence.

Use a range of sentence structures for clarity, purpose and effect, with accurate punctuation and

spelling.

How will work be assessed Work will be assessed using OCR writing grade criteria. These are official controlled

assessments which make up one unit of the exam and will be written in examination conditions.

What needs to be done at home Differentiated skills based tasks will be given according to the needs of the groups. These

include: planning ideas, planning paragraphs andreading appropriate texts for research. Homework tasks and resources are available via the facultys website, BeENGspired, which can

be found through the school website.What Key Language will be developed

Students will be encouraged to use and understand more ambitious vocabulary. Key words/devices include (and not exclusive to):Similes, metaphors, adverbs, adjectives,

structure, onomatopoeia, pathetic fallacy, alliteration, personification.

GCSE Art & Design Create A Portfolio.

During this term you will gain an understanding of some of the requirements of the GCSE course.

Develop your creative ideas through investigations, informed by relative (contextual) studies and other

sources

Looking at the artwork of others both traditional, modern and contemporary

Demonstrate analytical and cultural understanding

Explore and refine your ideas through experimenting and selecting appropriate resources, media,

materials, techniques and processes

Record ideas and observations, illustrate insights relevant to their intentions in visual and/or other

forms


You will be continually assessed, based on the Assessment Objectives laid out by the exam board.


As a dedicated Art student you should be creating artwork and refining your skills all the times. The more time an artist spends on honing their craft the more successful the work they produce will

become.

Even when homework is not set students should be working on extending their portfolio further.

Assessed work must be connected to the starting point you (the students) have been given.

Business Students will be spending the Summer term researching two businesses, 1 localand 1 national/international, in preparation for their controlled assessment in the Autumn term.

It is crucial that they also carry out Home Learning activities, continuing their research, inorder to ensure they gather enough information to have a good attempt at the courseworktasks.

In Business Finance, students will apply theory on the Profit & Loss Account and the BalanceSheet, and will learn how to fill in and carry out calculations in the key financial documents.


The controlled assessment is divided into 3 sections. Each section is worth 30 marks, ofwhich 6 marks are allocated for research.

The research work carried out in the Summer term will account for 6 marks, and additionalmarks will be awarded for the development of Personal, Learning and Thinking Skills (PLTS).

In Business Finance, there will be an end of unit test before the Summer holiday to testelements from Year 10, and the financial document unit.


All lessons are accessible from Kingsbury Smart, so students can revise what was covered inlessons.

Each unit is supported by a Word Wall, with differentiated explanation of keywordsDescription (D-G), Example (C-B) and importance to business (A-A*).

Most importantly this half term, students should allocate at least 1 hour each week to gatherinformation as part of their controlled assessment research news articles, adverts,brochures, webpages etc.

Evidence can be printed, and kept in a folder, or stored electronically (could use KingsburySmart to create a project folder)


Financial documents key elements of the profit & loss account:

Profit & Loss Account: Sales revenue, cost of sales, gross profit, expenses, net profit

Balance Sheet: Fixed assets, current assets, current liabilities, net current assets (workingcapital), net assets, long term liabilities

Students use explorative strategies, the drama medium and elements of drama in order tolearn how to create meaning through performance.


Students undergo summative assessment throughout the work which is teacher led and at theend of each term through a process of teacher, peer and self-assessment.

All performances are filmed for moderation purposes.


Students need to write up the work they have covered in the lessons, logging all decisions

made and this will form part of their documentary response.

dimensional (2D) engineering information using industry standard methods of orthographic

projection and learn how to present three-dimensional (3D) objects using isometric drawing

techniques.


The unit is coursework based however there are 4 controlled assessments that must becompleted by all students.

Students can expect to get either a PASS, MERIT OR DISTINCTION once coursework hasbeen completed.


A Home Learning activity accompanies this unit including the following information:

Prior knowledge research tasks.

Lesson based extended learning tasks. Keywords comprehension tasks.

Key Film language terms and topics such as:

Genre

Mise en Scene (camera shots, lighting, sound, editing)

A key outcome is the assessment research task which counts for 5% of the overall grade and isuploaded to a candidates e-portfolio via the schools RealSmart platform.


50% of the course is assessed internally: the first task is to research the production,distribution and exhibition details of a film of the candidates choice and to begin an analysisof a scene using some of the key aspects of film language.


Students should be encouraged to develop a wider experience of cinema of a range of genres(both Hollywood and non-Hollywood).

Students can use computers to research their chosen film for the assessed task and chosen

scene for the analysis task. Parents should encourage students to research widely and notjust the standard sites ofwww.wikipedia.org and www.imdb.com


Subject specific language will be used and students should be encouraged to keep aglossary of film studies terms.


All students taking GCSE Film Studies will have access to a RealSmart platform which acts in twoways:

To provide model answers and mark schemes to support students in each internallyassessed task

To allow students to upload, save and complete work from home as well as in school aspart of their e-portfolio.
