The document provides criteria for a 2020 GCSE coursework proposal. It lists questions students should ask themselves to ensure their proposal specifies the intended audience, applies at least 3 theories, uses precise media language to describe planned content, and references how stereotypes and conventions will be used or referenced. It also prompts students to check that they have not wasted words, clearly addressed aspects of the brief, and made relevant references to research on conventions.

content?

archtypes?
