This piece of work is really all about how well you work out your target audience and what decisions you take because of this. I’m sure that Miss Briggs will tell you all about this but some ideas about the sort of thing we’d be looking for are:
level 4 – You have thought about the target audience. Your work is mostly appropriate and you have given some reasons for your choices. You also choose appropriate tools for the job.
Level 5 – Your have made a number of specific choices that are appropriate to your chosen audience and have explained why. You will have used different tools for different purposes. You evaluate your own work (and the work of others?) using a check list.
Level 6- You will have taken existing resources and adapted them so that they are more appropriate to the task and the audience. You will consider the given check list and modify it to test your work, you make use of feedback to review and modify.
NOW .. what do you think of that!
I hope you can see why Amy’s comment about ‘how do you know your audience’ is a really good one. This is all about understanding how to make a presentation that does what it’s supposed to – not just about using Powerpoint and Audacity etc.

So, can I ask again about your audience?
Who are you going to create the ‘show’ for and what do you think you have to bear in mind? (think about my notes)

I am going to aim my ‘Story’ at 10-11 (yr 6s’) because i think i know more about the age range because it was only last year that i left that age range. I will have to think about what kind of language to use and appropreate images and basiclly quite alot of things.
If anyone needs help with understanding things then i don’t mind if you ask me.:)
More soon,
Amy:)

I’m really sorry Mr H. But I am involved in a production of Oliver, so I am not going to be able to come on here often. I have thought about your list, a 5 – 6 year old story, I will only tell the exciting facts to stop them getting bored.
