               TUTOR NOTES -         Overall, the opening is the strongest part of this assignment.  But a
               tendency towards repetition in your choice of examples.  Try to take the reader through a
               carefully staged  process.
                It is inappropriate to use only your own work as examples (should  have told  me that at the
               start).  The fact that this is an option  in  keeping with the conventions operating in writers'

                manuals doesn't mean that it should  be in exclusion to broader referencing.  You  need to
               find the examples that are potentially most revealing and  helpful to work on -  perhaps
               something that has less detail and therefore needs much more expanding in a script (in
                hindsight,  I  know exactly how it could work).  Overall, you seem to be expecting the reader
               to do most the work (wonder where I got that idea) as you are  not providing models.  This is
               where your own work could of come  in, e.g. as examples of adaptations rather than source
               texts.  Develop your references to Austen novels.
                However, good  basic ideas for exercises, and  appropriate tone.
