In James' seminar this morning, we looked at an example essay which would point us in the right direction for writing our own. We recapped on what we had already covered which was: genealogies, strong opening line, use of APA6th referencing, clipped writing, descriptive and creative writing, perspectivism/non-absolute perspectives.
The advice that we decided on for writing the essay was: give a definition of subcultures at the beginning of the essay, don't write 'this essay will', make sure references are used wherever appropriate and don't write how you speak.
The essay that we read we rated 6/10, although it contained some good points and was fairly descriptive at different points, but it didn't contain the necessary specific information in order to convey the correct message. Therefore i must consider all of this when writing my own essay.
