12 Essential English – Hero and Villain Pop Culture Unit – Film Review Handout

About the PPT:
A PPT designed to be used when handing out the assessment. It visually displays key information from the task sheet. There is some information about what I look for in a multimodal spoken presentation. I also have information about how to structure a PowerPoint (particularly if students plan on incorporating their spoken delivery into the slide). There are details from the school’s oral assessment policy – particularly around pre recording their submission. There is an example PPT which I created for Aquaman. There are also instructions for how to record themselves.

About the Word Documents:

1. A planning scaffolding document to be completed before students begin writing.
2. A writing scaffold with lines for students to write on as students are required to handwrite their drafts to avoid AI usage.
3. A B standard exemplar for The Incredibles
4. A B standard exemplar for Justice League

Context: A lesson designed for use in a 12 Essential English classroom in Queensland, Australia as part of Unit 4: “Representations and popular culture texts.” During this unit students learned about Hero and Villain films and how filmmakers use cinematic techniques to portray them and create an intended message. Their assessment at the end of this unit was to write a 4-6 minute multimodal (speech) to be delivered live or pre-recorded reviewing one of the three films shown within the unit.
