Example diagram templates

Getting diagram templates Word Insert Smart art Or in powerpoint or create your own Lay out before gluing!!!!!! Dont make it a cluttered mess!!!!!

Examples Next few slides

Poor example (U)

Better example.still needs work (D)

D/E grade Some good exploration Chooses appropriate films Attempt to organise text with colour/boxes Presentation is poor Writing is poor a lot of errors Not explaining how the films are horror

CLUTTERED!!!!!

Too much text but some good info

Fairly good organisation

Lovely organisation

Example M - B1 grade Always uses sentence starters Range of correct conventions Range of correct examples Explains the conventions Brief and concise text Text and photo are linked (well organised) Screen grab from film (not just film cover)

Identifies range of correct subgenres (not just basic genre but types!!!) Excellent diagrams for organisation Range of correct film examples & each of them are slightly different Explains the conventions for each one Explains the subgenre using sentence starters, identifying purpose and conventions To improve: improve organisation in these boxes (too much bulky text)

Incorrectly identifying hybrid (not 3 or more) Film examples are correct (and good range) Using vocab (semantics)
