MIGRAIN October assessment learner response

Feedback given from assessment:

 WWW:

  • This is a strange party: you really show some excellent potential in places. Your response to Q2 is close to top-level so there is a lot to build on here.


 EBI:

  • The main lessons here are actually exam techniques
  • Clearly timing is a problem: you must answer the 20 mark Q with an extended response
  • You must answer the question-don't drift off into speculation...analyse the text you are given and use the wording from the question
  • Don't describe the theory: apply it!

Brand values task 100-10-1

Choose 5 brands. For EACH brand: 1) Sum up the brand values in 100 words, making reference to Dyer’s lines of appeal. 2) Distil the brand values into one sentence of no more than 10 words.  3) Sum up the brand in ONE word. Nike: 1) Nike's brand image is centred around high quality sports equipment that are perceived as being fashionable and stylish in order to suit customer needs. They want to come across as being versatile which in my opinion is probably the reason why they have ventured out to design different items for example trainers.

Daily Mail 'Embarrassing from one of the greats': Fans mock Cristiano Ronaldo after Juventus star leaves the pitch in tears following red card against Valencia This article is about Ronaldo receiving  an automatic one-match ban - which cannot be appealed - but could face an expected two-match ban for violent conduct, which would rule him out of the home game against Young Boys and the trip to Old Trafford on October 23. A three-game suspension - UEFA will determine the length of the ban - would also keep him out of the return against United in Turin on November 7.  I believe this is an example of soft news journalism. Soft news stories relates to entertainment sport, celebrities, gossip, scandal and human interest/lifestyle topics. This article talks about how a world famous football players gets sent off after receiving a red card during a group stage match.  This news story is an example of clickbait rather than quality journalism.
