Blog Marking
Guys and Girls,
I told you that I would be marking your blogs during half-term. So, it is frustrating when I start marking and people have obviously missed completing their coursework. Advice for improvements (lots are nowhere near target, as are missing things. Therefore, I cannot accurately give you a grade for your work).
You MUST have your video on your blog.
You MUST have your pre-lim task on your blog.
You MUST have every evaluation question on your blog, even if you didn't put together every question.
You MUST have your R+P up to date, including production diary (most planning is very basic - should have info about planning titles, logos, costumes, make-up, settings research etc).
Please email me if you have issues - but get this sorted asap. It's not fair to continue to nag - you know it needs to be on there. Don't make me waste my time (this is my holiday, remember). email shuttle@bchs.essex.sch.uk if you need anything.
Enjoy what's left of half-term (If you've done your work - if not, get it done!! Remember, you get marks for time management...)

Assessment
Hi guys,
Once posts are teacher assessed OR peer-assessed (this should be ongoing!!) you need to ensure that you are pasting my comments into a post and labelling it 'assessment'. This then needs to be acted upon. You can reflect on it, BUT I also need to see evidence of progress and improvement from this.
It is vital that you do this. For an example, look at how Kayleigh has done this below - please look at it for help/guidance.
I will be expecting to see this done by the end of the week
