Success criteria for a band 4 essay+my opinion

Success Criteria for a Band 4 essay question

-Introduction-Define how you are going to answer the question, bring up the points you will go into in further detail in future paragraphs
-Conclusion- From your findings, evaluate and conclude your opinion and what you believe on the question
-Always refer to the question
-Begin each paragraph with a direct reference to the question, to keep your paragraph answering the question
-Cram every paragraph with as many facts and figures as you can.
-Always back up your points with evidence
-Use argument words e.g however, on the other hand etc
-Use wording from the question as often as possible, if the question says "Synergy", for example, bring it up frequently
-Try not to ramble, keep your points and evidence concise
-Use examples of games developers frequently, e.g Ubisoft, Gearbox etc
-Refer to the games you have studied often as well, e.g AC3, DBA
- Make every paragraph clearly different to the previous, explaining a different aspect of the question.
-Use lots of relevant terminology

My opinion on learning in media
The learning style in media is very different to other subjects, it relies on group learning and so far I have really enjoyed this aspect of the subject. I enjoy the more practical lessons but I know they can't be done all the time. I have found my favourite thing in media is when we are set a project to do in lesson, and I would like to see more of this in lessons. However I think we need to do some more on the facts and figures aspect of the essay
