In the first session on the 7th, we concentrated on our introduction, and what that would involve. I found that I felt quite confident after finishing my introduction personally. I am never quite sure how to go about writing essays, so having the help from start to finish, really boosted my confidence about writing this.
During Thursday's session, we worked on how to create the main body. A large part of the session was focused on how to do Harvard Referencing. I still can't remember exactly what I am doing when writing the essay, so having all the forms of Harvard Referencing in our handbook was extremely helpful, as I could use it to look at when writing my essay, so that I knew I was doing it correctly.
On Saturday, we focused on conclusions, and how to finish our essays. This was a bit difficult at first as I had none of my main body of the essay completed, so I focused on writing at least a small bit of my essay before beginning the conclusion. We also had peer reviews during this session, enabling us to get some feedback on our essays, whatever stage we had reached in them. This was useful, as having someone else being able to give you constructive feedback, is always able to help you improve on the work you have done.
My essay has a large focus on Pinterest, and how this is used by galleries and museums to showcase exhibitions that they are showing, or have previously shown.
During the self-directed study section of this day, we had a small workshop on writing our blogs. The main focus of this was reflective writing as well as giving and receiving constructive feedback, I found this helpful, as a lot of my blog posts are quite short, and could do with some improvement. To tackle this I am trying to put in more reflective thoughts about the sessions and work I am doing.
