We have now reached the crunch time for the Media Investigations with a deadline of Thursday October 22nd for the first draft.
This will then allow you the next half term to work on your productions and revise your investigation if necessary.
I have spoken to a number of you today about your progress and will meet with the rest of you tomorrow to evaluate your research thus far.
I am particularly impressed with the progress of Gemma and Dan Sopher from talking to individuals today, as both of them have undertaken a number of textual analyses and written these up to investigate the features and conventions of their specific topic. Please check out their blogs to see how you could implement these ideas in your own work.
