Brittany Chippendale’s exemplar blog

Remember, a blog post a day, is the way to an A.

The blog is a straightforward way to ‘easy’ marks but it is also a straightforward way to ‘losing easy’ marks.

What makes a good blog?

• Complete.
• Attractive.
• Good use of English and punctuation – media is communication – communicate properly.
• Bullet pointed reflections as opposed to long paragraphs of writing.
• A variety of ICT used in your posts.
• Properly embedded and linked post – always add pdfs links to posts.
• Do not use google linked posts as we can’t guarantee the examiner has access.
• Get an adult to check your posts – spellings and typos.
• Add in extra posts as and when appropriate.
• Categorise and keep the posts in chronological order.

What makes a good blog post?

• Reflective – what have your learnt – how will impact on your product?
• Include relevant terms that may have been introduced to you.
• Always read our blog to help with ideas on what kind of terminology and theory you should be including.
• The relevant posts are hyperlinked from the blog league so no excuses about not knowing what to do in a post or how to introduce and reflect on it.
• The sooner you start to use media terms and theory in relation to your work, the easier the exam will be.
