Identify a strength or strengths in your assessment: I feel I had good knowledge of all of the media texts so that I could write about them in detail. I can create some good points on the Big Issue covers. I am good at covering points on gender in Stop Where You Are.   What are the areas you need to improve? I need to improve by writing about a variation of representations in the media texts I am given. For example, in the first question, I only wrote about gender, whereas I could have talked about class. I need to improve my ability write under timed conditions. What do you need to focus on for your next assessment? I need to focus on analysing unseen texts in the occasion that there might be an unseen text in the exam. I need to do practise questions under timed conditions so I can write enough in the time I have.
