Videogames assessment: Learner response

Videogames assessment: Learner response 1) Copy and paste your feedback into your blog in full (you don't need to write the mark and grade if you want to keep this confidential). WWW: This is a satisfactory response with your first main paragraph in particular offering real insight into the question. Clear focus on genre and The Sims franchise. However, it isn’t sustained or matched by the Tomb Raider paragraph in order to award a band 4/5 mark. EBI: Ideally you would want to write more than this for a 25-mark essay but I think this was partly my fault for the time I gave you for the assessment and the online nature of it. If you can write at this level and sustain it across perhaps three well-developed paragraphs then you will be looking at a top grade in future PPEs/assessments. 2) Read the  mark scheme for this assessment  carefully - in particular the indicative or suggested content.

Advertising: Assessment

David Gauntlett has argued against the idea that masculinity is 'in crisis'. To what extent do you believe masculinity is 'in crisis'? In your response you should refer to your Advertising and Marketing Close Study Products: the Score  hair cream advert (1967) and the Maybelline ‘That Boss Life’ YouTube advert (2017). I agree with this statement as Gauntlett argues that views of gender and sexuality, masculinity and femininity, identity and selfhood, are all in slow but steady processes of change and transformation. He also highlights the differences in views on identity between young and old- e.g. on homosexuality or masculinity and argues that the mass media has become more liberal, and considerably more challenging to traditional standards and this has been a reflection of changing attitudes, but also involves the media actively disseminating modern values. Moreover, there have been significant changes in the way gender roles are represented from the 1960s to
