Write a blog for each reading
“Blogs should identify ONE key argument from the reading that you found useful and ONE
example or piece of evidence that you found interesting. Your blog should explain why you
find these interesting in relation to your own research interests or in relation to your own
experiences.”
To give some more guidance, the aim of the blogs was to test two key skills. First, identifying
key arguments in academic texts and paraphrasing these arguments for your own purposes
with relevant quotation. Secondly, applying these arguments to examples of your own
choice, either drawn from the reading or from your own experience/research, to show your
ability to understand the analytical potential of arguments from academic text
