AS-Level Blog update and progress grades

If you're reading this without me having to direct you here, well done. You're one step closer to getting that A-grade that you are capable of.

I have started writing your reports and can say that the following blogs demonstrate good practice in the following fields.

Moodboards: Frankie Rose

Photoshoot plans: Ama and Hana

Front cover analysis: Tamana

The top grade awarded was a B. At this stage in the course, it is not possible to award an A-grade for planning, simply because nobody has yet planned and completed a Front cover yet.

It was difficult to award more than 3 B's as a lot of students did not have all the work on their blog. When you get your feedback sheet, you should aim to update your blog with all your work, be it at home, on your memory stick or in the closet.

No excuses please.
