A2 - Y13 ILP Feedback

9 of the 13 students who attended the first ILP day completed the "feedback survey".


The sessions that students felt were most useful were:

  • Session 1: Presenting animatic and receiving feedback


  • Session 4: Improving their animatics


  • Session 2: Reflection and evaluation (followed closely behind Session 4)


The session deemed to be of least use was:

  • Session 3: Blogging...


Overall it was felt that session 2 and 3 were too long and that I spoke for too long. For future ILP Days I will seek to make them more interactive and practical to maintain student engagement throughout.

And we're off - students are making jingles for the school radio station - "Triple C Radio". They have been shown the basics of using 'ACID', which is a audio editing, loop based program. Here of some of the kids at work!

Year 13 ILP Day 1

Animatics, Blogs and the Reflective Learner

On Monday 12th October Y13 will have their first full day session. The aim is for them to present, edit and complete their animatic. To improve their blogs - particularly focusing on the way they use information, the way they reflect on and evaluate their learning - this will help them to prepare for their coursework evaluations later in the year and their synoptic assessment in their final exam.

A fairly successful day - I personally feel there was a lot for the students to take in. The structure of the day needs to be revised going forward.

I am very pleased by the progress many of the students have made and am positive that they will create thoroughly engaging and creative coursework!
