Draft Project Outline for 6th April 11.59pm

# data[].attributes.body
Your first assessment  is to submit a draft project ouline (submission date to be confirmed). You will be working on this over the next 2 weeks in Thursday lessons and for homework. To complete it you need to:
1) identify your topic
2) identify your working title ( this might change later)
3)identify key research areas
4)identify key search terms for finding sources
5) identify 3 academic sources
To help you with 1 and 2, do pages 67 and 68 in your ebook
We will look at possible answers to this in your next seminar

# data[].attributes.body
Here is the power point. Use this to review:
How and when to use quotatations
How to use research sources to support your points in your research paper

This is guidance on working title and research questions for your draft proposal. Seminar tasks are on the last slide.There is help on the VLE on completing your draft, including a sample draft assignment for you to look at

Compare Sample 1 and 2. Which one:
1) Has the best introduction section. How is this achieved ? (Read the introductions in some detail)
2) Has a very clear overall structure. How is this achieved ? (look at headings and topic sentences in the whole paper)
3) Which one makes better use of sources ( look at authority of sources, paraphrasing and critical evaluation of sources by the writer) ?  Choose one main section from each to compare
Decide which one you think got the highest marks.
You can use the marking criteria if you want to estimate what marks this got (clue - look at 60-70-80 bands to make your decision)

Chapter 6 Task 1 on introductions (up to page 79) This part looks at the structure of an introduction - what should you cover in this ?
(your introduction is 300-400 words)
Download the Sample 2 report from report structure (Section 7), and analyse the structure of this introduction. Why does the writer start with a definition ? Is this a good idea ?  What other sections can you identify ? are there any parts that should be added/improved ?
Answers to be discussed in seminar next on Thursday

This is a worksheet to practice using graphs and charts in your presentation

# data[].attributes.body
Use this basic template for your presentation if you want to, or you can make your own. Remember to keep it simple and clear though, and it must have all the same sections

# data[].attributes.body
1. Give your presentation a good spoken structure using structure phrases to direct the listeners attention e.g first I will look at, here you can see tha t the biggest competitor in the Chinese fast food market is KFC. The next challenge was that ....
2 Citations, Citations Citations on your powerpoint e.g (Jones, 2023)  For introduction and answers to research questions
3) Do not put lots of text on your screen and read it out. Put your notes with what you will say on paper or on the notes part of the powerpoint, but not on the screen (see the video below from 15 minutes for an example of this)

# data[].attributes.body
Pay particular attention to the transitions phrases (moving from one part of your presentation to another)
Using these is required for a higher mark

Aim to have completed one section of your presentation for the next lesson (introduction, research process, findings, or reflection)

This video takes you through

1. Basic Requirements of task (submission dates, task requirements

2. Bad example - reading out formal written text vs. good example - screen designed for presentation (15mins 50)

3. The requirements of each section (from 34 mins)

4. Some basic guidance on using diagrams and graphs (how to label and cite them)

So you can fast foward to the section you need to review
