Inquiry

Hi everyone,

After watching the slideshow Paula put up from campus session number 2 has really helped me think about effective writing.

The slide that stuck in my head the most was: effective writing -  Try to edit with purpose to say what you mean in fewer words. The example shown on the slide proved how you can get across what you want to say by rewording it.

As I have been editing my critical review I noticed my sentences are sometimes so long and there would be better ways to get my point across. I referred back to this slide to try and help me with my writing. I have been playing around with my sentences and feel it has been beneficial to my work, as it seems to read a bit more clear now.

This whole process of writing the inquiry up has felt clear in my own head but when I read it back I realise other people may not make sense of it, I have been working on trying to make it as clear and structured as possible for another reader to understand it.

I ended up having four themes in my analysis which was taken from re-occurring things happening or said in my observations and interviews. I have discussed these themes throughout my inquiry, always referring to how they will benefit my practice. I have carefully selected what I choose to talk about based on the importance and relevance it has to my practice.

Has anybody started on their artefacts? I have a few ideas but keep changing my mind. What are other peoples ideas'?
