Year 8 English - Poster Advertisement Project

Semester Mark Value: 45%

Instructions:

Using the elements and concepts covered throughout the module; create an original poster

advertising a holiday in your allocated group. You can be as creative as you like, but the

principles of print advertising need to be clearly evident. You will have three classes during

school hours to work on your poster, but most of the work needs to be done in your own time.

There are three components to this assessment, which accounts for 45% of your semester

grade:

1) Major draft (15%) (assessed as a team)

 The major draft should show at least 60% completion of the final version.

 It is due 2 weeks prior to the final version. This will allow me to return the

draft with comments to be incorporated into your final version.

2) Final version (20%) (assessed as a team)

 The completed project with comments from the major draft incorporated.

3) Technical discussion (10%) (assessed individually)

 This is a 300 word explanation of the key elements used in constructing your

advertisement.
