Year 12 Genre Conventions homework

This is due for Tuesday 22nd November

I would like you to investigate the genre conventions of charity adverts.

1. You need to be confident that you understand what 'genre' and 'genre conventions' actually mean. Do some research and write down some notes and definitions so that you are confident that you understand the concept.
2. Read the website here and have a go at the task: what do all of the adverts have in common?
3. You may wish to read more widely about charity adverts.
3. Produce a guide for year 7 children, informing them what genre conventions would be expected of a charity advert, ie/ a list of features they would need to include if they were to write their own charity advert. OR Create a poster with a charity advert of your choice in the middle, labelled with the genre conventions identified.
4. Identify these genre conventions in the Elephant text that we looked at on Tuesday. Make a list of genre features with quotations if appropriate
5. Challenge (optional): Write a paragraph evaluating how closely the elephant text adheres to genre conventions.
