Taking Stock
23th April 2013

Today we went through what we needed to with our blogs, Neil showed us som techniques to help the group.

8 elements of R.W

1. Describe - Give an Account
2. Contextualsie - Stating social conditions
3. Analyse - Breaking it down
4. Critique - Judgement
5. Evaluate - Assessing its value, strengths and weaknesses
6. Theorise - Concept, speculation
7. Synthesise - Looking at the whole
8. Action - What to do next to improve or develop

I will try and use these points when writing up my blog and when I annotate the whole of my learning journal .  

Neil talked to us about a trip that he is planning to help with our learning journals and for our specialist pathway projects, he told us we could go to Liverpool or Oxford. He got us to vote on which place we would like to visit and nearly everybody including myself voted for Oxford, I have been told it is a really nice place and has some good museums. 

For next week we have to present one piece of our own artwork, I already have in mind what I want to show. We also have to look up what there is in Oxford so we have some idea of what to do when we are there.
