Neil Yeo Deputy Headteacher
Introduction Most of you are involved in coursework and project assignments for your GCSE subjects and are beginning to feel the pressure. During the winter term you prepared for your Year 11 mock exams in most subjects and now is the time to get to grips with the real GCSE examinations. The best way of achieving good results is with careful and planned revision. Proper revision cannot be done in just the few nights directly before the exams! It is something that you should constantly be doing in some way. As you approach your exams make sure that you Plan carefully well in advance Talk about your work to your teachers and tutor Work through essays, notes and past papers Keep to a schedule
This will work much better than any last minute panic! Effective Learning and Revision
Do you have good study habits? Do you organise yourself well? Do you make sure that you have the right books, notes and equipment? Do you study at reasonable times of the day? Do you study in a quiet place, away from distractions? Do you make clear notes which you properly understand? Do you re-organise your work, underlining key words and ideas? Do you break large pieces of work into smaller units? Do you summarise the main points from long pieces of writing?
The following shows you how you might improve your learning and revision techniques:

Plan your work carefully and stick to your plans Set yourself challenging yet realistic targets and check on your progress Use a variety of study methods to help you concentrate Try to become interested in your subjects Always fully understand your work before trying to memorise it Use active methods of learning Use your knowledge as often as you can
What you need to revise Look through the subject revision guide and list the various major topics which you have covered. Refer to past papers so that you know how questions will be asked on each section and topic. All exam boards put past papers online, with mark schemes, so use the paper code given in this booklet to access the correct exam papers. Do the examiners want: Essays? Shorts answers? One-word answers? List those topics or parts which you feel unhappy about which need more attention than others. Dont give all topics equal importance. By mixing subjects and topics which give you difficulty with those which are easier and/or interest you more, you will be able to plan a varied programme of revision so that you dont get bored by doing too much of one subject, or depressed by doing things which you find very difficult.
Where to revise? Everybody needs to work out where and how they work best. Dont fool yourself that you can work in front of the TV!!! You cant!!!! Some people find it useful to work in the same place all the time, every time. Others find it useful to have a change of scenery, working somewhere else each time. For how long? Remember that your concentration span is limited! Have a timed break but make sure that you start again! Dont get caught up in some terrible TV show!
Revision Notes and Practice Whatever the present state of your notes, it is important that you make revision notes. Though they can sometimes be bought, it is much better to make your own notes just making the notes is a great way of revising. You have to actually read through your work!! You can make sure that your notes help you revise. You can use colours, symbols and abbreviations that are meaningful to you. People differ about how they can remember things and how to write notes, BUT, however you make your notes, make sure you include questions from past papers amongst all the information. That way your revision is always heading in the right direction.
Make a collection of revision cards with key information. It will take a long time to do for all your subjects, so dont leave it until the last week or two before an exam! You can use the cards to quickly check up on a definition or key ideas, not just facts. Remember to include vital diagrams or formulae.
You are not a machine! When you read your notes you need to have a focus. Dont just go through every word without taking any of it in! Be aware of past papers, and the type of questions you might be asked. Have copies of past questions on the topic that you are revising at hand, so you have a specific question in your head before you start reading notes
Getting the timings right
Most teachers will give you some practice answering past papers against the clock. You need to try this as much as possible so that you can feel comfortable in the real exam! This practice should help you: Plan your use of time REMEMBER: You need to be able to complete all of the questions that you are asked to in the real exam. Plan each answer five minutes thought without writing anything or jotting brief notes is worth thirty minutes waffle! Use your memory of revision cards and notes to remind you of key ideas and facts
Planning Your Revision Time: Do you have trouble settling to your work? Do you rush your work to meet deadlines? Do you seem to run out of time? Are your study/revision sessions as well planned and effective as you would like? Sound Familiar? Then try this: First you need to look at how you spend you time now. Leave out your lessons, but fill in; Homework/Revision Activities/Commitments (sports, clubs, household jobs, etc.) Free Time

Examination Questions
Will all the examination questions require the same type of answer? Do you find some questions more difficult than others? You will have to answer many different types of exam questions in your various GCSE subjects. To answer these successfully you will need to make sure you apply the right techniques to the appropriate question. The following guidelines should help you to think more carefully about the different types of questions and help you to improve your skills in being able to tackle them all.
1) Produce a list of all the different types of exam paper and

question you will come across in each subject paper.
2) Discuss your strengths and weaknesses in relation to each type

of question with your subject teacher
3) Plan and follow a programme to improve on your areas of

weakness, including plenty of practice questions.
Answering Long Questions and Essay Titles
Do you sometimes find it difficult to fully understand what you have to write about? Do some of the words in the questions or essays confuse you? Do you plan your answers and essays?
Knowing what the question means: Look at your past papers. Examiners choose their words carefully. For example, if you are asked to name a piece of equipment, then you really have to name it!! You will get no marks for simply describing it no matter how correct you are. If you are asked to show you working, then show it! The number of marks to each question can be used as a guide to how much detail is required. These are normally shown on the paper. It is essential that you understand exactly what the examiner is looking for, and you can only do this by studying the wording of the question carefully. Read the question three or four times Underline key words in the text that indicate how the question should be answered, for example:
After reading all the sources do you accept Scotts claim in source B that The causes of the disaster are not to faulty organisation, but bad luck? Answer this question as fully as you can. Make sure you understand the key words Planning essay answers Unplanned answers are not good answers. They are often unclear, muddled, repetitious and full of irrelevant comments. So, quite rightly, they get low marks! You must spend a few minutes planning your answer.
Make a few notes on the examination paper of the main points / useful facts / relevant examples. Do not forget to cross out the notes when you have answered the question
All good answers are well structured
1) They have an introduction that tries to explain the terms of the question. This may include a statement of your own views or opinions 2) They are written in paragraphs which a. Keep to one main point of the question b. Contain supporting facts, details, figures, examples, evidence, etc. c. Link at the end to the next paragraph 3) They reach a conclusion in the final paragraph, related to the original question and tying up the main points. Long Questions: Conclusion
Interpret the question
Plan your time and your answer Structure your answer Read through and check your answer
A typical GCSE revision schedule
January/February: Review your performance in the winter mock exams and identify your weaker areas. Respond to points made by your teachers in your report and on parents evening. Discuss all of these with your teachers and plan some action to make sure of improvements.
March: Check details of the time, date, content and organisation of your final GCSE exams. Enter times and dates on your planning chart. Discuss problem areas with your teacher. List areas needing attention and make time to attend to them. Fill in your study week planner. Review all of your work and rewrite poor sections. Read as much as you can about all topics and add extra information to your notes.
March/April: Make notes and lists of key facts and points for each section of work in each subject. Plan and begin a comprehensive learning/revision programme and enter this on your planning chart.
April: Revise! Revise! Revise!
April/May: Test yourself on different types of questions in exam conditions. Practice your timing. Continue to talk to your teachers!
May/June: Get plenty of sleep. Know what to expect in each paper. Be properly equipped. Get to school in good time.
Your Personal Planning Chart
You really need to plan how to spend the months leading up to your exams. A last minute rush will leave you panicky and tired. You need to fit in relaxation time as well as revision. You may not have many months left, or your schedule may have gone wrong. Dont worry! The main idea - of planning the use of the time that does remain is still a good one.
Dont panic Dont give up

On the planning chart, enter your examinations and other key dates such as coursework deadlines. Then work back towards the present with a realistic revision schedule for each subject. Tick off what you manage to achieve itll make you feel good! If you do not achieve something, then re-schedule a bit and ask yourself why you couldnt keep to the schedule; unrealistic target? Laziness? Unexpected visitors? etc. I havent got enough time!! When you realise just how near the exams are, you may feel that you just have not got enough time. If you do feel that way, now is the time to be very honest with yourself. Where does your time go?

Final Thoughts
You are not on your own There are many people around you who are just as keen for you to do well as are, so dont be afraid to ask teachers/tutors/parents for help. Your friends may be taking the same exams why not work together on the topics that you; share your thoughts about revision cards. Remember too that if explain something to someone else before the exam, the chances are can explain it in an exam as well. Beware of other people who tell you either that they are doing or a great deal. The first lot may be lying to look cool; the panic you into overworking! Think for yourself, dont let other your revision schedule. you well bore you can that you
very little second lot people ruin
Exams are not designed to catch you out, they are simply to find out what you know, what you understand and what you can do. And remember, its only a short time to sacrifice for something that you can be proud of forever. Once the exams are over, take some time to relax and celebrate your own achievements!
Good Luck!

Media Studies Key Concepts contd . 1) Media Language: forms and conventions
There are a number of defining conventions of television crime drama: Narrative: a useful place to start is by exploring types of narratives which are typical of crime dramas. Compare the structure of those organised around single episodes with clear resolutions at the end with series which have multiepisodes. Explore plot lines and how the crime is solved and the criminals revealed. Narratives are often organised around binary opposites, for example the conflict between the forces of law and order and criminal activity. Character types: identify the central characters who populate the genre. Some dramas are based around a single central character, or a pair of detectives working together. In others we might have teams of crime fighting units. What other characters would we expect to see and what is their narrative function? How important are the criminals themselves? Settings: locations can be part of a drama's appeal. They frequently determine the nature of the criminal activity and affect the tone, mood and pace of the programme. Compare idyllic village settings with urban landscapes. Explore the fast streets of New York, the academic spires of Oxford and the poverty which is to be found in some British/American cities. Style: Mise-en-scene, a French term meaning 'placing on stage'. W hat we see on the screen in terms of the way characters are dressed, their body language, their positioning, the setting, props and other objects, are all generic clues by which we can recognise a crime genre on screen. In this sense style is about the look, sound, mood and feel of a programme. The following all impact on style: Camera work and editing Music Lighting and colour Dialogue Suggested activities 1. Compare the central character of two or three crime dramas. What, if anything, do they have in common? 2. Make a list of crime programmes where the specific setting is important to the plots. Suggest other suitable settings that could be used for a crime drama 2) Institutions Crime drama remains a regular feature of broadcasting schedules with its ability to deliver audiences. Channels are under pressure to maintain their share of the viewing figures at a time of increasing economic pressure. Look at the range of British and American crime dramas on offer, identifying where and when they are broadcast. Crime dramas are not cheap to make, some having very high production values. Costs need to be recouped, not only in monetary terms, but in enhancing and maintaining the reputation of the channel in terms of the quality of its output. It is important to have an understanding of the commercial environment in which television producers have to operate. Consider the impact of the digital era and how this has affected viewing patterns and behaviours. W e now have a variety of ways in which we are able to consume media products. For example, the availability of DVD's has opened up a new market for television crime drama. These have proven to be extremely popular, providing another source of revenue. So how does a producer deal with this modern fragmented audience? This question has implications for how crime dramas are promoted and marketed across different media platforms in order to maximise their potential to reach audiences. Suggested activities 1. Research the process by which a new television crime drama is commissioned by a broadcasting channel. 2. Which television channels broadcast mainly British crime dramas? Where are American crime dramas to be fo u n d ? 3. What marketing strategies are used to promote a television crime drama? 3) Audience Who watches television crime drama? Like any other investigation into audience, it is important to consider the makeup of different groups. Demographic profiles remain a useful tool to begin this process which can be developed into drawing up profiles of both mainstream and niche audiences and then matching them to contrasting dramas. Why do audiences enjoy television crime drama? There is a wide range of crime drama programmes which appeal to different audiences for different reasons. It is a very successful genre and reasons for its success need to be explored. What kinds of viewing pleasures and experiences does it offer? Consider audience positioning too. W e often sympathise with or like/dislike particular characters which increases our sense of engagement and enjoyment. What is the effect of television crime drama on audiences? There are different arguments and media theories to explore the relationship between a media text and its audience. These can lead to some lively debates. Suggested activities 1. Select a successful television crime drama you have researched and explain its appeal to audiences. 2. Some people argue that television crime dramas can encourage violent behaviour. Do you agree?
Media Studies Key Concepts contd . 4) Representation Crime dramas are often described as being like real life. Does television crime drama offer us a realistic portrayal of the work and life of crime fighters and if so how? Often crime dramas deal with themes or issues which are important to us or have had recent coverage in the media. Sometimes programme makers go to great lengths to create a sense of authenticity; police procedures have to be accurate and settings are carefully recreated to seem like the real thing. Traditionally the police have been represented favourably in crime dramas. However, this has become more complex, as writers try to create more rounded and interesting characters. Crime drama has not been afraid to tackle stories dealing with police corruption or we meet a central character, brilliant at work, whose private life is a total shambles. The institution of the police has been accused of both racism and sexism and this is further fertile ground to pursue. Look at the representation of gender. How are women portrayed and what kinds of roles do they have? W hat are their relationships like with their male colleagues? Extend this by considering ethnicity. How are minority groups represented? Is crime drama guilty of demonising sections of our society or are there social groups who do not have a presence in crime drama at all and are invisible? Non-contemporary dramas could be contrasted with contemporary to explore representations, highlighting how social attitudes have changed. Underpinning television crime drama is a belief system that crime is wrong and that the forces of law and order must be upheld. In this sense they frequently uphold dominant values in our society. Are there any examples to be found in crime drama where this is subverted? Suggested activities 1. Identify how gender stereotypes are used in television crime drama. 2. Select one of the following social groups and explore how it has been represented in a crime drama: teenagers; old people; ethnic minorities.
