Today in my EPQ lesson we got our feedback (P6) on our project proposal (P5) and Kay noted that 'The title itself I (she) believes will be modified once Elouise has read the novels and investigated the questions set out in her proposal - 'to what extent... affected' may be a little vague, and depending on how the research goes a more appropriate title may talk about 'how', with reference to the chosen texts, the portrayal of gay characters has changed and what impact this has had on literature/social attitudes.' Which I thought was very useful in advancing my project because I know what I need to complete over the summer. Kay suggested that 'this project has plenty of scope for both critical analysis of sources and the development of independent thinking, since the comparison of these specific texts has not been undertaken before, as far as we know.' Which I believe was very positive feedback and will help me to make progress on my project over the summer.
