Methodology and conclusion/evaluation feedback (including key)

Methodicals,

here is the key to the feedback with a few expanded points:

• +ac =  more academic in register: choose more formal, academic expressions
• +alt inter = more alternative interpretations: offer more than one interpretation in context of why language choices might be the case 
• +anon = anonymise the data as fully as possible, replacing names with codes and removing identifying details 
• +clar = clarify (make clear) what you've said, thinking about the reader's needs
• +con = express more concisely what you are trying to say - no padding!
• +contx = more contextual comments needed - GRRAMPES and wider context (there are many marks available for this)
• -emp = avoid empty sentences - give details/overview
• +foot = use footnotes to back up theory and contextual points with precise references to other texts
• +GRRAMPES = get higher contextual marks by thinking about the subtler aspects of GRRAMPES and how they might be affecting language choices - offer alternative interpretations, tentatively
• +org = organise ideas in the most helpful order for the reader and make sure of flow/cohesion
• +para = include more paragraphs to help the reader
• +sub= use subtler points to hit the higher bands - use your imagination about the context and add higher level terminology to explore quotes with deep analysis
• +ten = be more tentative in your expression of ideas to get into the top two bands (offer alternative interpretations where possible - are you seeing a pattern?)
• +term = more terminology - crowbar it in wherever you can but I've put this where it is drastically in need

Start to think now about the whole investigation - remember, it is not an essay, it is a presentation of your findings.

What is going to go in your appendices? Unannotated data, bibliography, tables, research that isn't easily accessible etc.

Also start to think about the whole folder.

Bring in the whole investigation, printed out, for peer analysis on Tuesday 7th Feb.
