Course Overview

Semester 1
This student is fully internally assessed. The year starts with a film study. Students then complete a piece of writing connected to their film study. This piece of writing goes towards the students' writing portfolio. Students then move onto creating a visual essay based on a text studied.

Semester 2
In the second part of the year students complete their visual essay and also their writing portfolio. They finish the year by delivering an oral text which is based around their aspirations for their future. If students complete all internally assessed tasks to the standard required they will achieve enough credits to go towards their UE qualification.
