Review an artefact, activity or event

You must collate all the preparation work and research that you undertake to show that the investigation is wide ranging and well focused.

Present your review as a radio broadcast.


We all make use of creative and media products. We read books,
magazines and papers, watch films and TV programmes, listen to
the radio and to music, and go to exhibitions, shows, plays and
gigs. We also live in an environment designed to a great extent by
creative people and filled with their work. We make individual and
personal decisions about what we do, what we use, what we like
and enjoy. This part of the unit asks you to make a personal critical
response to something you have experienced at first hand. You
must:
• choose an aspect of creative or media activity which you have
a personal interest in or have experienced as part of the
audience – this could be an artefact or group of artefacts
(photographs, paintings, a collection of jewellery), an event
such as a gig or theatrical performance, or an activity such as a
visit to a heritage site
• think carefully about your personal response to what you have
selected and explore your ideas
• present your response in a chosen form explaining carefully in
a well-supported discussion what qualities and aspects were
effective, enjoyable or striking, and why you found them so

Evidence


Although the personal response may be in the form of a written review, learners are by no
means limited to this. They might produce a short ‘piece to camera,’ an interview with a
practitioner in the form of a radio interview, a set of photographs with a commentary or perhaps
a website which combines a number of reviews

  • notes on chosen activity
  • presentation

Mark band 3 (8–10)
Learners will choose a creative or media event, artefact or activity and,
having conducted a focused investigation, describe it in detail.
Personal responses will be articulate and will clearly address the qualities
and aspects of the event, artefact or activity that were effective, enjoyable or
striking. Learners will take a predominantly discursive approach, making
frequent and detailed reference to what is being written or spoken abou
