YEAR 13 - DRAFT ESSAY'S DUE! & Linked Production Starts!

Hi all,

Please remember that your draft essay is due this week Wednesday 30th Nov 

- You should come to lesson with it printed out and ready to submit.
- Also have it uploaded onto your blog with the title Full Draft Essay
- Please include a word count - must be between 1900 and 2100 words ONLY
- You must have a bibliography (see example of layout in previous posts)

- Do not cut corners here - this is 50% of your final grade! Do the work!



---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- Next lesson you will be asked to present on your LINKED PRODUCTION IDEA! Remember your production should be directly connected to the topic you have researched. There should be a clear 'link e.g If I did a research project on the impact of music videos on girls, I could do a website/article of an obsessed fan who dreams of being a video vixen illustrating how she was influenced by videos and the negative effect they have had on her. OR I could do a website/article of an artist (that I create) and how they strive to make positive videos that inspire and motivate people.


- So you should have decided what platform you will work on.
- What text type you will be creating 
- Have at least 3 different ideas of what type of content your chosen text will have 
- Decide whether you will be subverting your topic or conforming to your topic, 

All these decisions should be made and ready for exploration.

YEAR 13 - It's CI Essay Time!

Now that you have done such amazingly thorough research work around your topic, it is time to now bring that all together and start formulating your actual 2000 word essays.
