Last year, we had the same setup as smegger_em. There were 7 students in our class.

Most of us ended up abandoning the assigned class and organising personal one-on-one sessions with our teacher.

We had three short stories (two were fantasy and one was a collection of short stories for children), one video (peer pressure and youth suicide), one script (masks and theology), one collection of poems (based on Dante's work) and one critical response (Great Gatsby).

'Difficulties were encountered when researching the topic; most public libraries had little or no information. This was overcome by a visit to Example University's library where The Topic Book was obtained.'

'The significance of the title of the work lies in the hidden reference to the history of the topic.'

'The major work was originally composed in order to enlighten the target audience about this significant aspect of the topic.'

It's not that hard... just stay away from first person and look at your work objectively. Instead of 'my major work', simply say 'the major work', and instead of 'I did this' say 'this was done'. That sort of thing.

"Meh", along with "bleh" are the two coolest words ever. Doesn't matter that they aren't 'real' words.
