Tonight's discussion call with Peter Thomas was an ideal way for me to get back into the frame of mind of academic writing and start to think about different academic writing skills again.  The key topic that I found most useful during this call way the multiple ways we could structure our essays and how we can get the most out of our research.  The structure that took my attention the most was the theme-based structure. This is because of the empathise that we have in module 3 around recognising key themes throughout our analysis.  This is how this particular plan was set out for us. Introduction - what? why? how? Context/Literature Review - Define key themes and give background examples.

We then had the opportunity to start using more academic research vocabulary to ensure we are introducing our inquiry correctly.  Key vocabulary that came up was; Inquiry = the research that we are doing to gain information. Method = the way you collect the data: for myself this is, desk based research, interviews and a reflection journal.  Methodology = the way we are actually doing the research. For example; non positivist, positivist, qualitative, quantitative. Ethical considerations = any harm or issues that may happen because of research being taken place. Ethical protocols = the steps yo
