You should by now have an in-depth, completed Critical Investigation Proposal on your blog.
The next step is to develop a 'Notes and Quotes' document to contain all your research. This document will eventually be thousands of words and contain all your links, ideas, comments and quotes from everything you read and watch. It is essential that you have a wide collection of research and notes before you write a single word of your actual essay.
What does a great Notes and Quotes document look like? Have a look at Navneet's Notes and Quotes blogpost from last year - and bear in mind she went on to write an outstanding essay that achieved 47 out of 48 marks.
Your homework for half-term is to start your Notes and Quotes document and reach at least 750 words.
You may want to do this on Microsoft Word initally but you WILL have to publish everything you've got to your blog at least once a week for the next month.
Fortunately, you already have a template for this document from the last section of your Critical Investigation Proposal. Indeed, you may have already copied everything over into a new blogpost under the heading Research Plan.
Either way, you now need to create a blogpost called Notes and Quotes and start watching, reading and writing up any thoughts, ideas, quotes or comments you think of while you research.
You'll need this on your blog for your double Media lesson after half-term - good luck!
