Students considered the question...
CONTRAST THE TECHNIQUES USED BY EACH PRODUCT TO COMMUNICATE ITS MESSAGE.

This session also contained feedback to the FIRST essay and it is clear that ALL students need to improve the final section of paragraphs. This is the moment when students need to evaluate content and provide clear question focus. The second essay needs to show signs of improvement when concluding paragraphs. The level of effort was excellent within these essays but we just need to offer a little more critical detail.

HOMEWORK: Complete the second essay and hand work to me at start of the next session.
