Session five
Comparative criticism
Building on from the last session (in which you wrote a synopsis).
It takes two elements to make an essay.
Method:
Take two synopses you have made
Compare the thesis and conclusion of each.
Establish your own position in relation to them.
1) 10:00 meet and make a plan for the day (write second synopsis, make comparison)
2) write (Steve will talk to individual about your plan)
3) 16:20 publish draft on wiki
4) 16:30 come together as group and discuss outcome
