  3. Getting Started • What have you done so far? • What do you think you need to do? • Have you formed an essay question or have you been given one to answer?

  4. Analysing assignment titles I • Look at the list of words commonly used in essay titles. • Which ones are used in your assignment titles? • Does the definition work OK? If not, raise this example in discussion. • Are there any instruction words in your assignment titles which are not on this list? If so, what are they? What do they mean? Raise these in discussion so we can add them to the list. • Be prepared to raise any other queries in plenary discussion.

  8. Ideas-storming • Write the title or topic of your essay in the middle of the page and draw a circle around it. • Identify the key words in the title • Jot down everything that you associate with different parts of the title (include readings, relevant data you have etc) • Can you identify connections between different parts?

  9. Getting feedback • In your groups, in turn, discuss your outline plans. • It is essential that you ask each other to explain the different parts of your plan rather than accepting what you are told. Question as much as possible. • Add to your A3 sheet any ideas, comments, notes and questions which you can investigate further.
