FAO CGAA Yr 1/Unit 2/Space/Written Assignment Criteria Guide










See above - a guide to satisfying the essay criteria; again, I've used The Cabinet of Dr Caligari as an example of content; pay particular attention to the structure of the introduction; take note of how specific it is, both in terms of subject matter, investigative intent and sources used. The criteria is there as a guide to ensure your assignments are content specific and evidence-based. Use the criteria as a checklist - if you cannot approach your chosen example in this way, chances are you a) haven't researched your subject adequately, or b) there's simply not enough reputable/published information available.
