For those students that have completed their work, they can retrieve their coursework folder from the teacher desk (they are not tallowed to leave the class with any of the documents in there), check their marks (There is also an excel sheet with marks on the Mac Shared) and respond to my feedback.
It's in Mac Shared/ Year 11 Mock exam November 2018/Year 11 Coursework marked with feedback.
Dear year 11. I have marked all your coursework and apart from those fews students who put no effort into their coursework, overall your coursework went surprisingly well.
I will drop off your marked coursework at school ready for your double lesson tomorrow, after which you will need to spend 2 weeks responding to the feedback and spending time after school in coursework clinic to make sure you do all the amendments needed for your second draft deadline which is Tuesday 11th December 2018
As with regards to your written paper, the news is less good. About a third of you never even bothered to take your booklets/workbooks/study guides out of the classroom to prepare for your exam... YOU CAN NOT WRITE THIS PAPER ON GENERAL KNOWLEDGE!!!
Lesson 2 WORK (THIS IS FOR ACTUAL WORK- I WILL MARK THIS AND USE IT FOR DATA- PUT FULL EFFORT IN. I'M HAPPY FOR IT TO BE TYPED)
In an effort to start some proper revision (and essay writing skills) I need you to complete the following in your two lessons today.Please redo this essay question from your Mock exam.
Step 1: They ask for musical elements. It's MRS DI HAT you people!
When you get the question, start making notes. First write down your structure:
- Melody
- Rhythm
- Structure
- Dynamics
- Instrumentation
- Harmony
- Articulation
- Tempo/Time Signature
Below are some sheets to help you define these elements of music.
Melody
Rhythm
Structure
Dynamics
Instrumentation
Harmony
Articulation
Texture
Tempo/Time Signature
Step 2:Then listen to the piece (and using the sheets I have added above) every time you recognise a feature, write it in pencil in your planning. e.g.
Melody: step wise/conjunct movement
Rhythm: Triplets or repeated driving rhythms.
Step 3: Now, after the last time it's played (for this piece only listen to it 3 times as per the exam audio). Then you have 6 minutes to write your pencilled notes into a COHERENT essay.
Step 4: Make sure every element you can identify, is linked to the mood of the music (a chase scene).
So. If you say there is a bass ostinato rhythm, you MUST say to create a driving rhythm and to push the pace of the music forward to build tension for the chase.
Use the sheets below to aid your writing.
IMPORTANT: Most of you lost so many marks by using the wrong name (Melody, then talked about rhythm or e.g the dynamics was very thick...what???!!)
You also would keep rambling on about 1 key element when there are 9/10 other subheadings you could be adressing!
LESSON 7: WORK. I expect both tasks to be completed before you can get your coursework back tomorrow.
Use what you have worked on last lesson to write another essay, comparing the two versions of Queen's Bohemian rhapsody.
Write about:
- Structure (what is the structure of this piece, how is it revolutionary to other pop/rock songs of that time? I'm happy for you to very quickly -no more than 5 mins-research this on the net),
- Instruments used,
- Tempo (when is it fast and when is it slow. Link this to structure),
- Texture,
- Articulation,
- Performance context (where/why/how is each piece performed?)
