English Investigation Plan
Power - influential
I will be looking at different publications of reviews on the same dance film and see how the journalist's accommodate their language.
Online publications to use as data - The Telegraph, The Guardian, The Daily Mail
Do the reviews include interrogatives?
What politeness strategies do they use?
Is their speech direct and bold?
Sentence moods?
Theories – Giles communication accommodation theory – written plan
Consider looking at rhetorical devices used or persuasive techniques some expert lists as the most common or find some review theory.

What to research -
Review writing techniques to see how journalist's structure their writing
Collect online sample data of dance film reviews, maybe magazine reviews of dance groups - eg. Diversity
When analysing published reviews consider writing about:
- Polysyllabic lexis
- Metaphors
- How do the journalists accommodate their language to suit the audience?
- Sentence moods
Ideas on what dance films, which have published reviews, to look at
- Dreamgirls (2006)
- Moulin Rouge (2001)
- Step Up
- Footloose
- Dreamgirls (2006)
- Moulin Rouge (2001)
- Step Up
- Footloose
Dance magazine? I would like to see the data when you've collected it, before you write a formal methodology.
