Home Learning Expectations

Students Parents/Carers To listen carefully to the Home

Learning activity instructions in class. Copy down the Home Learning activity

and deadline date into your planner Ensure that all Home Learning

activities are completed and handed inon time

Attempt all Home Learning activities tothe best of your ability, paying attentionto your subjects Minimum andChallenge Targets.

Take care of your work presentation. Inform your Subject Teacher of any

difficulties before the lesson so thatfurther support can be given.

Provide a table, chair and a quiet place to

work. Negotiate when Home Learning activities

are to be done. Check the time spent on individual

activity. Ensure that outside clubs do not affect

the quality of work produced Check the presentation and content of all

Home Learning activities being returnedto school.

Sign the planner each week. Provide the school with information about

any problems through the studentplanner or by contacting the appropriateSubject Teacher/Achievement Leaderdirectly.

Subject Teachers

Set Home Learning activities according to the Home Learning timetable. Give full and comprehensive instructions and ensure that students record home learning

activities in planners Set deadlines for completed work and ensure that they are met. Mark and return all Home Learning activities promptly. Provide help and support.

What will be studied this termYear10 will study the novel ofMice and Men.For reading students will:

Show a clear understanding of the text through an analysis of language and how language isused to create particular effects. They will also evaluate and make interpretations of the textaccording to different perspectives and language variation.

Some students will understand the social and historical context of the text. They will use thisto develop in-depth and detailed evaluations of the text and key features of the text.

For speaking and listening:

Students will maintain and develop their talk purposefully in a range of contexts. They willstructure what they say clearly, using well selected vocabulary and appropriate intonation andemphasis. They use standard English confidently in a range of situations, adapting asnecessary.

Some students will make a range of contributions that show they have listened perceptivelyand are sensitive to the development of discussions.

How will work be assessed During the summer term, students will complete a series of activities, practice exam questions

and a controlled assessment will be completed. Practice assessment activities and controlled assessments will be marked according to the

schools assessment and feedback policy, the criteria outlined above and GCSE Mark

schemes.What needs to be done at home

Students are required to read the text fully and carry out research connected to the text togain a clear understanding of the social and historical context.

Differentiated additional skills based tasks will be given according to the needs of the group. Revision and practice of writing skills, grammar, punctuation and spelling. Resources and practice exam questions are available via the facultys website, BeENGspired

which can be found through the school website.What Key Language will be developed

Standard English and non-formal language used with text. Encouraging students to use and understand more ambitious vocabulary relating to the text. Evaluate, analyse, identity, compare, infer, deduce, structure, dialogue, representation,

context, select, literary, interpret, features, quotation, explanation, language, perspective,effect.

What will be studied this termGCSE Art & Design Create A Portfolio.

During this term you will gain an understanding of some of the requirements of the GCSE course.

Develop your creative ideas through investigations, informed by relative (contextual) studies and othersources

Looking at the artwork of others both traditional, modern and contemporary

Demonstrate analytical and cultural understanding

Explore and refine your ideas through experimenting and selecting appropriate resources, media,materials, techniques and processes

Record ideas and observations, illustrate insights relevant to their intentions in visual and/or otherforms


You will be continually assessed, based on the Assessment Objectives laid out by the exam board.


As a dedicated Art student you should be creating artwork and refining your skills all the times.

The more time an artist spends on honing their craft the more successful the work they produce willbecome.

Even when homework is not set students should be working on extending their portfolio further.

Assessed work must be connected to the starting point you (the students) have been given.

Key Film language terms and topics such as:

Genre

Mise en Scene (camera shots, lighting, sound, editing)

A key outcome is the assessment research task which counts for 5% of the overall grade and isuploaded to a candidates e-portfolio via the schools RealSmart platform.


50% of the course is assessed internally: the first task is to research the production,distribution and exhibition details of a film of the candidates choice and to begin an analysisof a scene using some of the key aspects of film language.


Students should be encouraged to develop a wider experience of cinema of a range of genres(both Hollywood and non-Hollywood).

Students can use computers to research their chosen film for the assessed task and chosenscene for the analysis task. Parents should encourage students to research widely and notjust the standard sites ofwww.wikipedia.org and www.imdb.com


Subject specific language will be used and students should be encouraged to keep aglossary of film studies terms.


All students taking GCSE Film Studies will have access to a RealSmart platform which acts in twoways:

To provide model answers and mark schemes to support students in each internallyassessed task

To allow students to upload, save and complete work from home as well as in school aspart of their e-portfolio.

What will be studied this termThe subject lays an appropriate foundation for further study of geography or related subjects at a higher

level. It will provide them with an overall view of the world in the 21

st

century, developing an appreciationof the world around them.First Term Focus:Developing the following skills:

Communication skills

Graphical and cartographical skills

Technological skills including ICT and GIS

Interpersonal skills through debate and discussion

Literacy and Numeracy

Problem solving

Entrepreneurial and awareness of career opportunities

Personalised and independent learning

How will work be assessedStudent progress will be measured using a range of assessments that will be held at the end of eachtopic studied. This piece of work is levelled and shared with the student to track and monitor theirprogress, in line with their MT (minimum target) and CT (challenge target).Within lessons the teacher will also use a variety of AfL (assessment for learning strategies) that willensure the teacher is adapting activities to cater to the needs of all students and make sure progress isbeing made within individual lessons.

What needs to be done at homeTypes of home study that will be set:

Project based activities that compliment learning in school and the classwork which encouragesthe development of research skills and independent enquiry

Students are given past paper questions to complete at home to consolidate learning and ensurethat they become familiar with the terminology that is frequently used in the exams.

It is expected that any work missed is caught up with or uncompleted work is finished at home. Due to the nature of the course (linear) students are encouraged to regularly review learning and

create revision guides/notes/maps as each topic is completed
