conventions of the media text.

Demonstrate creativity and flair in the use of original materials and ideas.

Confident, controlled deployment of the structures and genre conventions.

Appropriate control of register, demonstrating sophisticated awareness of the demands of audience and purpose.

Effective and sustained adaptation of original materials

Detailed annotation in the body of the work and

summative comments covering each AO

Centre assessment sheets covering each AO –

more and more schools and colleges are using their

own assessment forms which are very helpful and

allow for detailed comments on each AO

Clear evidence of internal moderation – especially

where marks have moved during the moderation

process.

Wider reading and be familiar in a wide range of

language concepts.

Stick very rigidly to the investigation topic

DON'TSWrite nothing

Show a limited understanding of audience,

purpose and genre.

Use an inappropriate register

Don’t over simplify or over complicate the

language used in the text

ADVICEAdditional factors which influence the success of

media texts include:

A wide link to the investigation allowing

students to explore other areas of language.

Effective embedding of language ideas into the

media text using an appropriate register given

the non-specialist audience.
