Examiner's feedback

Kamini's Thriller Blog

Snehal's Thriller Blog

Anujan's Thriller Blog


important: by all means use ideas from these blogsites (methods of presentation/approaches to research and planning/ways of working/ways in which you may improve on this student's work...) but DO NOT copy these students' ideas. (a) It is plagiarism which is both unfair to the student and dishonest (b) As they are on OCR's official website it would be possibly the least effective bit of cheating possible!!

For your thriller research and planning, use your foundation portfolio checklists and if you come up with your own ideas and are not sure whether they are useful pieces of research and planning then check with myself or Mr Hudson.
