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
