In June, I had to set myself five targets which would were, 1.to keep a well organized folder of class notes. 2. To extend my knowledge range of media terms and vocabulary in preparation for my exam. 3. To further my knowledge of the edit suit. 4. To could involved with class discussion and to give my input regularly as this would further my learning. 5. To meet all deadlines in order to get feedback on the work and this will enable me to complete to a higher standard.
Target 1 - Organized Folder
I feel that since I have started this course, my organization skills have significantly improved and this has reflected in my work. The fact that i can find work to read up on/look back on is a good results as last year this was a point in which I let my self down and i am not willing for this to happen this year
Target 2 – Extend Knowledge of Media Terms and Vocabulary
it was clear to me that last year I came across as the kind of student who just does the bare minimum to pass. Over the summer holidays I had a meeting with my parents which concluded in me realizing that for what I want to do and the lifestyle I want to live I cannot afford to waste this crucial part of my life just ‘passing’ things, I need to go those few steps further and not only aim higher but actually achieve higher. So I am already trying to revise and extend my vocabulary and with input from teachers and parents as well as mainly pushing myself further to add this new knowledge into my writings, you should be able to notice the difference when compared to previous works that I have submitted.
I am very aware that I struggle with English literature and writing long complex pieces of work. I know this is what is needed to get the marks with any course and this one being no exception. So I am going to try as hard as I can to make sure my course work grades are as high as they can be before the exams.
Target 3 - Edit Suite
I have made it clear that I wish to further my knowledge with the edit suite and I still intend to do so. As of yet, I have not had the chance to do so but I am sure this will happen very soon as we will be creating our films in the not so distant future.
Target 4 - Class Discussion
Last year I did not have so much confidence in my Blogger, I did not have the will to do my own independent which could clearly be seen in the amount of class discussion that I got involved in. I know that there were many questions that I would have asked and that would have boosted my knowledge of the subject. This year it is as if I have turned over a new leaf and I am bursting with confidence and I will ask when ever I feel I need to. I love getting into class discussions and I know that my questioning helps the group as well as the quieter members of the class.
Target 5 - Deadlines
I feel that I have improved in how I meet the deadlines set as I am already having the time to correct mistakes that I make. This is because I am sticking to deadlines and giving myself the time to correct my work.
Although target 6 does not exist, I would like to set myself one anyway.
Target 6 – My Blogger Being IT Literate
Last year my Blog was just standard and boring. Again going back to me not pushing myself further. Although I must stress that the exam board has changed since as I was told that we were not aloud to have many pictures, videos colors etc on the blog. Well this year everything has changed and the more we use the better. So this year I am pushing myself to do more work on the presentation of the blog as well as just having the information on their. My aim is to improve the blogs use of colour using images and fonts as well as adding more evidence in the form of actual videos as opposed to video links.
To help me achieve these targets to the best of my ability, I will have to spend a significant amount of free time as well as class time to improve this as this is what will gain me the marks that I really need to achieve.
