The Next Two Lessons

By the end of the next two lessons you need to have demonstrated progress in terms of understanding and production. To meet this target (and work towards a level 4) you will need to produce a weekly target post in which you outline your aims and objectives for the week ahead. You will need to reflect on this post at the end of every day.

Over the course of both lessons you will need to have done the following:

• Written a target setting post for the week ahead
• Produced at least one post containing some of your favourite magazine covers from the last 12 months
• Identified your preferred GENRE of music and therefore magazine (include images or artists, fashion, music videos etc from the genre)
• Reflected on the skills you have acquired up to this point (i.e. photography, photoshop, terminology)
• Analysed at least ONE magazine cover, ONE magazine contents and ONE magazine double page spread (you MUST analyse a minimum of three) using a MINIMUM of 10 technical terms from the list provided. The magazine MUST come from the GENRE you will be making.

Those students aiming for a level 4 could

• Read the tips on layout and evaluate whether the magazine(s) you have analysed follow any of these tips
• Evaluate what you could 'copy' from your favourite magazines from the last 12 months
• Evaluate how realistic it is for you to create a magazine from you favourite genre
