An excellent essay that evidences an excellent range of quality academic research and shows a very confident ability to triangulate between these sources to develop a rounded critical methodology. I still think that you could do more to explicitly apply this methodology to your chosen case studies but, broadly speaking, you write in an excellent, formal, academic style that should prove to be successful at Level 6 study. All of your portfolio tasks are excellent, evidencing both a deep understanding of the various theoretical methodologies and a confident ability to apply these methodologies to case studies of your own choice. All the tasks evidence an impressive degree of thought and wider research, as does the rest of the blog as a whole. An excellent attempt a the module
