Not sure if this would clarify things any more but here are the instructions that I was given:
In accordance with BOS requirements for chosen medium, the Major Work
draft submitted must be at least 90% of the minimum length stipulated. For example, the maximum
length for the critical response is 5,000 words (4,000 minimum), so the submitted draft must be at least
3,600 words. For the short story, minimum length is 5,000 words, so draft must be at least 4,500 words.
You are to also compose a draft reflection statement where you provide an:
Explanation of the intended purpose and audience of the Major Work
Explanation of the impact of the extensive independent investigation
Evaluation of the relationships of concept, structure, technical and language features and conventions
Your draft reflection statement is to be between 750 words and 1500 words (maximum) in total.
Still working on my draft haha 12 more hours until I need to hand it in :') Going to be way over the word limit at this point, so much to cut out .-.
