You should now have had your summer project text and topic approved by your coursework teacher.
Most of you will also have started the vitally important research blogpost by making detailed notes on the questions on media language and forms. Remember, the original research blog tasks are available here and the depth and quality of this work will go a long way to securing a top grade in your critical investigation next year.
We've had a few questions regarding what your research should look like and how it feeds into your Ignite presentation. The following research blogposts from last year should help - and note that Abayomi, Ladan and Sabrina all went on to secure full marks (48/48) in their critical investigations. There is absolutely no doubt that detailed, thoughtful and engaged research last summer contributed hugely to their A* essays.
One other important point: if you complete this project effectively there is no way you'll be able to include all of your research in your Ignite presentation. This is exactly the skill we need you to learn: how to research a huge amount and then critically select the most relevant information for the presentation to class. You only have 20 slides and five minutes so watch the Ignite examples carefully and plan a hard-hitting, informative and well-structured presentation.
Good luck!
