Critical Investigation: learner response

WWW: Fairly fluently written with a strong sense of your own opinion and citied autonomy. Good coverage of Hollywood/institution with some statistics - but could include more and discuss the Oscars from last year.

EBI: Too descriptive - you're just re-relling the story a lot of the time. You need to include textual analysis (of media language) all the way through - how the representation are constructed.

More needed on the debates about appropriation, along with the more thoeyr generally - include Alvarado + Fanon + the stuff you've been doing with Mr Halsey on post-colonialism.

Provide more of a historical context of slavery and compare it to now.

Don't use 'I' in an essay.

Weak bibilography from too few book references and wrongly presented - You must address this.

Second draft target: A
