Both stories are hard news as they are both serious matters. The Mail online story is about a fire that has taken place in Spain where some people sadly didn't make it through. The Guardian story is about  Black children in the UK are four times more likely to experience complications after appendicitis surgery than their white counterparts, a study has found.  The study, funded by the Association of Paediatric Anaesthetists of Great Britain and

Paper 1 mock exam learner response

  1) Type up any  feedback  in full (you do not need to write mark/grade if you do not wish to). WWW: Section A is pretty solid and not far from the higher levels. Now we need to add the exam technique to nudge that up and also match it across section B. EBI: Revise/re learn theories, more evidence from CSP's. 2) Write a  question-by-question analysis  of your performance. For each question, write how many marks you got from the number available and identify any points that you missed by carefully studying the AQA indicative content in the mark scheme: Q1: 3/8  • The iconic look sported by the model is that of the 1950s film star cf. Grace Kelly  or Marilyn Monroe - the archetypal post-war blonde bombshell beauty, arguably  designed to accommodate the male gaze. Q2: 4/12 • both products address aspects of gender identity and representation directly  within the context of their respective form. • these products both (arguably) have political intent reinforced by significant  cultura
