Evaluation

For my personal investigative study, I decided on an essay titled ‘Do live broadcasts ruin the magic of theatre?’.  To help me plan my essay I created a timetable, and this was really useful and helped me stay focussed.  I also created a spider diagram.  This was to prevent me from wandering off the subject and to keep to the 2000-word limit.

 

I found researching for my essay a challenge due to lockdown.  It led to a lack of resources.  I found many books and articles that I would have liked to read but was unable to have access to.  Having access to them would have allowed me to write a more in-depth essay.  However, the sources I was able to access give me evidence to support my ideas and I was surprised at how much had been written on the subject.

 

The essay had a clear introduction, body and conclusion but on reflection I feel that I spent too long on the introduction and struggled with the conclusion and did not answer the essay question in full.  This was also evident in the feedback from draft 1 that the introduction and conclusion needed some adjustment.  I readdressed this in the final draft by reducing the content in the introduction and increasing the conclusion so that it answers the essay question
