Audience essay feedback and learner response

1Unfortunately, a fair number of the 1,111 words are not yours – they are from the following website:

·     Music industry: https://www.recordingconnection.com/reference-library/recording-entrepreneurs/how-the-internet-changed-music/

·     On the positive side, this is excellent research. However, you cannot copy and paste huge chunks of text – this is called plagiarism and if you wish to study at A Level or at university then you need to learn this vital lesson. At university, you will be thrown out for plagiarising an essay.

·    The other key area to work on (probably because a lot of it is plagiarised) is the organization of your writing. You need to work on your paragraph structure and in particular topic sentences – the first sentence in a paragraph. Make sure it focuses on the question and develops your argument.

·    Spelling, punctuation, and grammar. You are not using capital letters correctly – that’s not good enough at GCSE level.x
