Post-16 File Policy

Although the majority of your work for the first part of the AS Media Studies course will be monitored via your online blog, it is still essential that you adhere to the Beaverwood Post-16 File Policy and maintain an up-to-date Media Studies folder.

This will provide a useful reference point to check, for example, the course assessment objectives and unit weightings, but you should also file hard copies of sources you consult, notes that you make or drafts you create for your Foundation Production Portfolio, as well as exam revision notes later in the course.

What does being a sixth form student mean?

Welcome

Welcome to AS Media!

You should be familiar with the Beaverwood Media blog, and the blogging process in general, after completing your Bridging Unit.

This is the main blog that you'll be referring to during the AS course (in addition to beaverwoodmedia.blogspot.co.uk). Because there is so much overlap in terms of the skills and knowledge you'll be developing during the AS course, we have decided to group it all together on one blog. You can sort the posts according to the different labels. For example, if you are looking for all the posts that are relevant to TV Drama, just click on the label.

Of course, the most important blog will be the ones you create yourselves! Please set up this blog in the usual way and email your blog address to beaverwoodmedia@gmail.com during the first lesson.

Good luck with the rest of the year - enjoy it, work hard and you will reap the rewards!
