  • There are some good points, quotes and theories in here, but nowhere near enough and your lacking an overall argument
EBI

  • Your lack of research is keeping you at level3 and the only way to improve this through reading and adding more quotes
  • There is no clear argument running through the essay, what is your point?
  • very little focus on Topboy, I think we might need to alter the question
  • Poor written English is holding you back. You are struggling to offer formal academic language (Tone/style)
The level I will be aiming for in my second task will be a level 3, I think this is equivalent to a B

Five things I will do or change for my second draft that will help me get there 
  • I am feeling to alter my question so that my research will match my essay more, this will make my points that I have created more accurate.
  • I am planning to write in more formal and better English to improve my essay grade, I noticed that that I made many clumsy mistakes with my vocabulary making sound less formal and less academic.
  • I will be adding more research to my essay so I can add more footnotes and increase the size of my bibliography because there wasn't enough information.
  • I am going to link every point I make back to Topboy because I didn't show a lot of contrast before in my past essay
  • Finally I am going to introduce my quotes correctly and use the right content of punctuation, to make sure that my sentence structure is correct.  
Write a minimum three-point 'wish list' for the BFL Library trip - what do you specifically want to take away from the BFL in terms and issues, theories or particular sections of your essay
  • I would like to find more quotes that relate and link well with Topboy, to improve my paragraphs in each part of my essay 
  • I am looking to find some good historical text within the representations of black males in the past, this will help me improve my 3rd paragraph in my essay 
  • Looking for any representations for Desmonds 
  • Gerorge Gerbner - Cultural Theory
