Year 10 essay Deadline Lesson

Today is your final writing lesson.
Task: At the end of the lesson you will need to email your work to hand it in as a final draft. You MUST write the word count at the bottom of your essay. 

The essay is out of 60 marks and is so worth 15% of your final GCSE mark. It is worth working hard to make sure you have answered this well. To gain the marks, you need to show:

  • detailed and thorough knowledge and understanding of the two Action Adventure films we watched in class
  • thoughtful analysis of the two films and their message
  • a good understanding of how the films represent social and cultural values - what do they say about family, friendship, loyalty, what being heroic means, what it is like to be a modern teenager or female stereotypes
  • a good understanding of how the films follow the conventions of Action Adventure films - who is the protagonist, antagonist and sidekick, who is facing a challenge, what are the action and narrative sequences....
  • accurate use of technical terms and medium-specific terminology
  • a good understanding of the effects of techniques on the film and the audience
  • a confident comparison of the two films
  • appropriate use of some examples from the film to support the points made
  • personal insight and engagement with the two films and their appeal
