This is good as notes, but needs structuring, and illustrating. Post title: GENERAL OPENING EG3 About a Boy.
At the moment, A-grade T; B- EX (lacking precision/detail at times), but EAA is fairly minimal overall: D. So a C- level, but clear scope to push this up at least 1 grade. Make it clear WHY the MLang has been chosen; to what effect. Look at it like your mock exam: treat it as an exam TV drama Q: how has meaning been created, commenting on the 4 technical areas. You need to return to Grimsby + Pretty in Pink - if you missed lesson/s on either, look at others' notes (you have access to the openings of both).
