WORK IN PROGRESS - SHARING WITH PEERS

As I mentioned in our last lesson, on THURSDAY SEPT 15th (our next SSRP lesson), I would like you to tell another 1 or 2 people in the group where you are up to with your investigation. This is a useful exercise, designed to help you to take stock of where you're at, and help you to take the next step towards your submission to the moderator.

You will need to do the following for your own investigation, and post this to the blog in a single blog post BEFORE the lesson:

• explain your investigation topic and why you are interested in it (a short paragraph)
• explain your focus film choice (why you chose it and how it relates to your investigation in a short paragraph) 
• choose 1 scene you intend to use as primary research material and explain  how it is relevant to your investigation -a short paragraph
• choose 1 of your secondary material items and explain what you have learned from that source so far (at least 2 precise points)
• show your blog and explain your rationale for information posted there so far (choose 2 posts)

Note - 'a short paragraph' means at least 6 lines (can be bullet points)

For others, as you are listening and viewing someone's work:

• evaluate their topic framework - does it sound feasible? Do you understand their focus? Can you suggest any improvements? Can you suggest any other supplementary films?
• try to make a suggestion for secondary sources
• make at least 1 useful or constructive comment on their blog (via mine) to cover the above.

 LOOKING AHEAD:
I've slightly revised the arrangement for the start of each SSRP lesson. Instead of 1 person presenting something they have found out in research that week, EVERYONE will do this each week on Thursday (except this week). So - EVERY THURSDAY you will need to be prepared to describe what you have learned from elements of ONE secondary item for your catalogue. I would expect this to be something like the following:

• a new insight into your investigation from the secondary item
• a new direction you might take from the secondary item
• an interesting and stimulating idea you have encountered in the secondary item
• a new link from one secondary item to another
