I answered the last question well however i could have included more arguments against the statement.

2) Read the mark scheme for this assessment carefully. Identify at least one potential point that you missed out on for each question in the assessment.

In contrast to this, the image has Stormzy bare-chested which arguably reinforces the

sexualisation of black males in the media and reinforces traditional masculine stereotypes

which contrasts with the idea of vulnerability. The lighting is low-key and sees a focus on

both the left side of his face and chest, emphasising these contrasting meanings of

masculinity and vulnerability.

4) Look at your answer for Question 2. Did you manage to write about three different strategies and three different benefits? It's vital you read the question and follow it exactly.

Yes

5) Look at your answer for Question 3. Did you follow the question guidance and write about both the BBC and commercial broadcasters? What could you have added to this answer to reach a higher mark?

Yes. I could’ve expanded on commercial broadcasters.

6) Now look over your mark, teacher comments and the mark scheme for Question 4 - the 20 mark essay question on media effects theory. Write a new paragraph for this question based on the suggested theories/answers in the mark scheme. Make sure it is an extensive, detailed paragraph focused on the question and offering examples from the wider media. 

Stanley cohens theory of moral panic can be used to argue against the statement that the media does not have a damaging effect on audiences – it is just a convenient scapegoat to blame for issues in society. E.g. poverty,

violence, gun crime etc. Alternatively, moral panic could be seen as a damaging effect in

itself as it stirs up unwarranted response in audiences and causes fear or even

violence.

If you do not finish your learner response in the lesson your work is returned, this needs to be completed at home by your next exam lesson.
