Critical and Contextual Issues - Week 11 - Essay Appraisal Exercise

In this weeks lecture we looked at writing an abstract for our essays and extracting the key information from it. This will allow us to summarise our essays and reflect on what we have written about so we can improve on it. 
Abstract - An abstract is a summary of your own research written in a small number of words, they're often found at the front of dissertations, theses, or journal articles.
Lesson Task:
  • List 10 key words and their definition in regards to our essay.
  • Read through and summarise the main points / create an abstract.
  • Conduct a peer review.
10 Key words and meanings - 
  1. gender roles- what society defines as male and female roles
  2. roles - the jobs they have, the things they did, the position they had
  3. social norms - what the community/society think is acceptable and believe is right 
  4. stereotypes - things that are perceived as being associated with specific group of people
  5. feminism - women fighting for equality between genders
  6. animation industry - visually moving images in a sequence and the companies that make them
  7. work place -where you go to work
  8. evolution - something that changes over time
  9. war - conflict between people/places
  10. society - the community as a whole
We then went on to peer review each other. Me and Emily decided to swap and help each other. We read through and helped with spelling, anything to add, senyence structure and anything we felt was a bit confusing. This was very helpful as I was able to have another person read and make sure it sounded okay and wasn't confusing.
