Year 11 GCSE Art

GCSE 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 other sources 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 other forms

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 will become. 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.

I would also suggest watching TV programmes based on art especially Sky Arts if possible.
Year 11 GCSE Applied Business

Business Students will be spending the Summer term researching two businesses, 1 local and 1 national/international, in preparation for their controlled assessment in the Autumn term. It is crucial that they also carry out Home Learning activities, continuing their research, in order to ensure they gather enough information to have a good attempt at the coursework tasks. In Business Finance, students will apply theory on the Profit & Loss Account and the Balance Sheet, and will learn how to fill in and carry out calculations in the key financial documents.

The controlled assessment is divided into 3 sections. Each section is worth 30 marks, of which 6 marks are allocated for research. The research work carried out in the Summer term will account for 6 marks, and additional marks will be awarded for the development of Personal, Learning and Thinking Skills (PLTS). In Business Finance, there will be an end of unit test before the Summer holiday to test elements from Year 10, and the financial document unit.

All lessons are accessible from Kingsbury Smart, so students can revise what was covered in lessons. Each unit is supported by a Word Wall, with differentiated explanation of keywords Description (D-G), Example (C-B) and importance to business (A-A*). Most importantly this half term, students should allocate at least 1 hour each week to gather information as part of their controlled assessment research news articles, adverts, brochures, webpages etc. Evidence can be printed, and kept in a folder, or stored electronically (could use Kingsbury Smart to create a project folder) Financial documents key elements of the profit & loss account: Profit & Loss Account: Sales revenue, cost of sales, gross profit, expenses, net profit Balance Sheet: Fixed assets, current assets, current liabilities, net current assets (working capital), net assets, long term liabilities Contacting the businesses in question, e.g. via contact us sections on websites Visiting businesses, e.g. Asda or Cadbury World Asking people working in business for their input

There will be a mixture of presentations, written assignments, pitches to the teacher and classmates and group discussions. They will need to produce written assignments reflecting their knowledge and understanding of specific subject areas.

All lessons will be accessible from Kingsbury Smart, so students can revise what was covered in lessons or if they miss a lesson they can catch up. Practise presenting ideas to family and friends to instil confidence for when they have to present.

Key words will be introduced weekly and a word wall set up with their definitions. Discussion, Tone, Clarity, Pitch,Copyright, Visual aid, Transitions, Production software, Body Language, Production documentation, Minutes, Memo and proof reading.

Year 11 BTEC Engineering
BTEC Engineering Unit 10 (Using computer aided drawing techniques in engineering) This unit gives students the opportunity to use computer aided drawing (CAD) techniques in an engineering context. In this unit students are given the opportunity to use CAD software to represent two dimensional (2D) engineering information using industry standard methods of orthographic projection and learn how to present three-dimensional (3D) objects using isometric drawing techniques.

The unit is coursework based however there are 4 controlled assessments that must be completed by all students. Students can expect to get either a PASS, MERIT OR DISTINCTION once coursework has been completed.

A Home Learning activity accompanies this unit including the following information:
Prior knowledge research tasks. Lesson based extended learning tasks. Keywords comprehension tasks.

Engineering Keywords Industry standard language for drawings Industry Symbols and signs

After school classes every Wednesday for boost levels and help with Home Learning activities. All worksheets and activities are available on Kingsbury Smart for each Engineering Unit.
Year 11 GCSE Film Studies

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 is uploaded 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 analysis of 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 chosen scene for the analysis task. Parents should encourage students to research widely and not just the standard sites of www.wikipedia.org and www.imdb.com

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

All students taking GCSE Film Studies will have access to a RealSmart platform which acts in two ways:
To provide model answers and mark schemes to support students in each internally assessed task To allow students to upload, save and complete work from home as well as in school as part of their e-portfolio.
