Task one: in groups discuss what we need when writing an essay
Today's session helped to refine what I wanted to find out, though I still need to refine my essay title and create a clear structure. I had a go at making a first draft of an essay plan (I know that this will definitely need refining)
I have highlighted key issues that construct a strong introductory paragraph and set out clearly what I want to try and figure out.
Something I really struggled with last year is having too much of a vague and open ended essay question, so this is something I will need to take on board before I could potentially make the same mistake of setting myself a task too large.
One of the things that I needed to do was gather some more sources, so I spent the evening researching imagery that would relate to my topic.
John Holcroft's work nails my subject matter down to a tee in terms with all of todays corruptions in society. I found some examples of his work about obesity and how society view it.
On the contrary, I also had a look at Rachele Cateyes project on 'Glorifying Obesity' to gain a different perspective.
More research into sources like these will help to refine my essay question, and help me discover what I would like to find out.
