The exam board states that: just writing is not enough - this is an interactive A level: every post should contain academic analysis, illustrations and visual links or examples. A greater variety gains a higher grade. Just text can only gain an E or D grade.
Challenge - you need to catch up - review your own blog and look at those of three others. You have until the end of the week to complete - Mondays lesson will be blogging and Q&A. Wednesday we will do the work in the post below... we are one third through the time allocated for the practical element of the course
