Hi all, Here is a compilation of some mark schemes made for sample Media Text Mocks I also compiled a while back. I’ve included the mocks just in case you can’t locate them on my shop. Hopefully this makes marking easier - it also is a good basis for creating sample PEE chains with the students. I use it with the sample matrix that CCEA provided in the SAM document.

Self Assessment of Written Work

(0)
This a self-assessment form for students to fill in, based on The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas. However, it can easily be adapted to suit other written tasks. It is for KS3 students and the aim is that they read the feedback comments / annotation on their work and tick accordingly. They then review how many Yes/No ticks they have and set themselves a target based on what they have identified as their weaknesses.
