Teacher essay summary
Overall, this is a very substantial piece of work looking at the highly complex and diverse subject of mental health. It requires considerable courage to take the topic on in this way and the writer is to be complimented on a well-structured account with a good choice of case-studies.
In general, the writing was fluent and the text easy to follow. In places, a number of grammatical errors caused some confusion. In addition, a number of images were used which appeared to have no obvious function.
The writer clearly has a particular interest in the impact of the media on the development of eating disorders in young people. This section displayed a good mix of fact and opinion. moreover, the writer was sufficiently moved by the topic to write a conclusion. Earlier sections of the assignment would have benefited from summaries or conclusions, helping the reader to focus their own thoughts.
Overall, a very interesting and informative assignment.
