Plan Tutorial just before Christmas

Essay plan

 Intro: This is very close to a thumpingly good introduction… However, there are a few edits required. The first sentence is the right kind of sentence but doesn’t make sense in its current form. Check your use of language – accumulation is used twice and I’m not sure it’s the right word. Introduce quotes properly and check the grammar/written English. 250 words.

 Section 1: Focus on primary text – texual analysis of Blurred Lines incorporating media theory and analysis. 500 words.

 Section 2: Effect on audience – rape culture, impact on young men/women, examples from wider media/society etc. 500 words.

 Section 3: Historical text – Shania Twain. This will need an excellent topic sentence to continue from the last section and contextualise this section within your question. Textual analysis of the Shania Twain video, any research that alludes to the changing culture (is rape culture getting worse for example?) Might want to add elements of institution and male bias within music industry (Twain hit written by a man). 300 words.

 Section 4: Media theory and feminism. Most of your research will go in this section, discussing different theories and debates within Media and feminism. You’ll want to refer to wider examples and the texts you’ve already analysed in the essay to make sure you are applying the theory. 500 words.

 Section 5: The future of this debate – where will feminism go in the next 5-10 years? Perhaps discuss new/digital media here – blogs, social media and new technology being used to launch potential ‘fourth wave’ of feminism. 400 words.

 Conclusion: Sum up your argument, get in the passion you’ve got in the introduction and come up with a killer final line/quote. 150 words.

 Next steps… update/finish your plan based on this tutorial. You don’t need to stick to the above by any means but hopefully it has at least clarified your thinking and provided a potential structure that will be easy to follow.

2100+400Q's=2500
