Documentary Project Feedback

http://janstech.weebly.com/

Use the rubric below to comment on the following areas of the students project work:

Inquiring and Analysing:

The paragraphs and reviews you wrote were good, and the only real problems I could find were a few grammar and spelling errors and the fact that
the videos do not work.
Cora: Your website was clearly built and easy to follow. You had a detailed design context which clearly showed what the pint of this project it. Also
you analysed three documentaries in detail and really explained what was good and what was bad on each video. Also you analysed three ted talks
videos and explained how each one was interesting and informative. Also I really like your own idea for the documentary and overall your inquiring
and analysing page was very well made.
Ayan: The website was extremely organised and easy to follow. The design context was clearly explained and the videos were all well analysed as you
weighed the pros and cons of the videos clearly. The ted talks were also very well explained.
Mr Payne: Brilliant start Jan. Clear, concise and to the point. Well done. Great subject you have chosen too. I really like the question if all work is
done on computers do children really need to learn to spell and use punctuation correctly if programs like spellcheck do it already. controversial but
true. A great start.
You need to include the list in what is need in a documentary. See the course outline
7/8

Developing ideas:
Mr Payne: Great design specification's and points to be judged on. But ...How can you tell if it is educational? is there a measure for this? Excellent
storyboards so a far. Well done
