Coursework Requirements. Exemplar work.

You will take a look at exemplar print based work and evaluate it using the WJEC mark scheme.




Magazine: a front cover plus one other page or a double-page spread for younger audience 

(b) Production 
Candidates must complete the production under informal supervision. Teachers may provide support for research, planning and evaluation through group and class approaches. Both candidates and teachers must authenticate work on the appropriate form to accompany controlled assessment. 

For research, individual candidates must provide at least two and no more than four types of evidence of appropriate research. This may take the form of the exploration of comparable examples but may also include some survey work into audiences/users if wished. The evidence may be presented as annotated comparable products, tables, charts and/or digital presentations. 

For planning, candidates must show evidence of at least two and no more than four planning stages. 

For evaluation, candidates must produce their own evaluation of 300-500 words or equivalent, depending on the presentational form selected, which explains how their production: 

• met its aims and purpose 
• used appropriate generic conventions 
• used representations 
• used narrative (where appropriate) 
• addressed the chosen or preferred audience(s) and/or user(s) 
• revealed media organisational issues. 

In the case of a group production, candidates must produce an evaluation which reflects their role.
