Your centre to moderate

You task is to look at the five candidates, whose coversheets you have been given, who have done a mix of film openings and magazines. You need to look at the cover sheet with marks and teacher comments, look at the work on the blogs, look at the grids for marking and at the coursework tasks sheet  as well as checking back against the benchmark blogs for the standard. You then need to come to judgments about whether the centre is too harsh, too generous or about right and make a recommendation. You should also produce a set of bullet points for a report to the centre, which may include recommendations for improvements in the future.

As moderators, you are looking for overall trends, rather than re-marking every candidate. You cannot change rank order, so you may need to 'smooth over' any discrepancies there. You can scale the marks by different amounts at different mark points, so long as it does not affect rank order.

Each group will be asked to report back at the end of the morning with their findings.
