Peer Assessment Of Documentary Ideas.

In the lesson today I spoke to Pamela about my documentary ideas in which are shown in a simple mind brain storm below, Pamela gave me some valuable feedback on my ideas and said that they were very interesting ideas in which cover truly problematic things happening in modern day society.
Pamela also said she liked that fact I was exploring controversial issues which are happening in society today and are rarely awarded media coverage such as mental health issues among teenagers and eating disorders.

This is a iconic picture surrounding eating disorders.
