Important Message for Parents and Carers

Dear Parents and Carers,

The teachers of Globe Academy believe that Home Learning is an integral part of developing

every student and ensuring that they reach their academic potential.

Home Learning is important because it is point where school and home come together. It serves

as a window through which you can observe your children’s education and express positive

attitudes towards your children about their education and progress. As children grow older,

homework and the amount of time engaged in homework, increases in importance. For Globe

Academy staff, homework is an opportunity to provide additional academic instruction and further

extend your child’s learning.

The benefits of Home Learning for you and your child are as follows:

(1) Practice and participation in home learning tasks can improve your child’s achievement.

(2) When homework is completed accurately and to a good standard, not only will your child’s

general knowledge and grades improve but your child will also increase their mastery of

basic academic skills, such as reading, writing, spelling and mathematics, something

Globe Academy is committed to.

(3) Your child’s ability to bring an assignment home, gather and organise necessary materials

to complete the assignment, return the assignment and receive a level/grade, strengthens

his or her sense of personal responsibility for their learning.

(4) Time management skills are learned and developed.

(5) Further, when homework proceeds smoothly it can become (4) a positive aspect of your

relationship with your child.

(6) Home Learning offers schools an opportunity to let parents know what their children are

learning and keeps parents informed about work being studied and completed in class

time.

(7) Home Learning helps the Academy achieve their overall mission of improving your child’s

achievement.

(8) Homework is the bridge that joins schools and parents. For parents there is the potential to

gain a greater appreciation of your child’s education and achievement.


For these valid reasons we are asking that parents/carers work with us to ensure that your child

completes their homework.

Your child will receive a homework booklet for each subject and we ask that all parents/carers

ensure that the tasks in this booklet are completed on time and to a high standard. Together we

can improve your child’s progress and attainment.

Please sign below to confirm your agreement to support Globe Academy by checking and

ensuring your child completes their Home Learning Tasks each week. In addition please sign and

comment if necessary, the Homework Record sheets also in this booklet.

Thank you in advance for your support. Do not hesitate to contact me with any queries or

comments about Home Learning at Globe Academy.

Kind Regards

Ms. C. Fernandes

Teacher Top Tips for Home Learning

Success

1. Know the teachers — and what they're looking for. Ask questions

when the homework is set so you know exactly what is expected of you.. If

you need to use a computer ask the teacher and they will set up a time to

use the Mac Suite. Don’t be afraid to ask for extra help if you’re confused.

2. Set up a homework-friendly area. Make sure you have a well-lit place to

complete homework. Keep supplies — paper, pencils, glue, scissors —

within reach.

3. Schedule a regular study time. Some students work best in the

afternoon, following a snack and play period; others may prefer to wait until

after dinner.

4. Make a plan. On heavy homework nights or when there's an especially

hefty assignment to tackle, break up the work into manageable chunks.

Create a work schedule for the night if necessary — and take time for a 15-

minute break every hour, if possible.

5. Keep distractions to a minimum. This means no TV, loud music, or

phone calls. (Occasionally, though, a phone call to a classmate about an

assignment can be helpful.)

6. Make sure you do your own work. You won't learn if you don't think for

yourselves and make your own mistakes. Parents can make suggestions

and help with directions. But it's a kid's job to do the learning.

7. Share what you’ve learnt. When you’ve completed a challenging subject

or worked hard to produce the best work possible make sure you show it

someone you care about. You deserve to be proud of your hard work.

8. Set a good example. Help those around you learn by telling them what

time you’re planning to work and when you will complete all tasks. Don’t

listen to students who say they aren’t going to complete the work; this is

often what students say to try and impress others. Often the students

saying this have already completed the homework!


Home Learning Task One

Survey five different audience members and ask them which type of moving

image they prefer to watch. Try to ask a wide range of people from different

age groups, backgrounds and if possible location.

Name of Audience Member

Demographics of Audience Member (Age/

Gender/ Location/ Occupation)

What types of moving images do they like to

watch?

Jack James

Jack is 18 years old, he lives in the City and works part-time at MacDonalds.

Jack enjoys watching Breaking Bad, Misfits, Music Videos (especially 50 Cent) and Eastenders.


Home Learning Task Two

Choose two adverts for different water products and one energy drink

product. Conduct research into how the advert is constructed.

The first one has been started for you.

1.

Evian Water

Character

Babies are used, this may be

because babies connote purity

and innocence. The director

wants to the water also to

appear pure.

Location Outfit/ Costume

Narrative/ Storyline

Slogan

Use of camera

Home Learning Task Three

Pick out five products of your choice and explain which

audience member you think it would appeal to in terms of

psychographic appeal.

Example.

I have chosen the product of Nike trainers. The product is clearly

aimed at aspirers as it is often endorsed by popular celebrities

such as Wayne Rooney and Ronaldo. These celebrities are

known for being football players and football is a very popular

sport. Aspirers follow trends like football and celebrities so they

are likely to want to be wearing something they see as popular.

Home Learning Task Four

Take four pictures or find four photos in a magazine that use different

camera angles/ shots. For each picture explain the effect the shot has on

the audience.


Home Learning Task Five

Your teacher will give you a storyboard in class. You must plan every shot

for the advertisement you are producing.


Home Learning Task Six

Write a letter to Mr Jones asking permission to film your production in

Globe Academy.

You must explain to Mr Jones why/ when/ how you will be using the site

and assure him that it will not cause any problems to the running of the

school. Remember you must gain his permission or you can’t make the

film. So be persuasive!

Layout of a letter:

Your address must be on the top right hand side of the letter.

Then you must put Mr Jones address on the left hand side (use the

Globe address).

This is a professional letter so you must begin with ‘Dear Mr M.

Jones’ and end with ‘Regards’.

There is an example provided on the next page.
