September

I trust you all had a good summer and saw some good films, I look forward to hearing about them.  Over the course of the next two weeks I will be looking over your blogs and leaving comments.  Please ensure you have completed the summer work ready for me to collect in when you get back, refer to the yellow booklet for help.

Small Scale Research

When you have your proposal returned to you.  You will be expected to continue research throughout the summer and be ready to hand in the evidence of your research next term.  Required;

Close Textual Analysis of Focus and Supporting films

Continue to gather material for your cataloge (not all electronic)

Start to put together slide titles or chapter headings that will direct you research

It would be a good idea if you all signed up to the Empire Newsletter it is an excellent resource....here
