I watched back the second academic writing zoom the other day and have already found it very useful for looking at academic text. I liked the idea of setting time limits in reading a text as some of these texts are very long and use difficult language. By setting a time limit it gives me time to scan the pages for ideas without getting lost in the text. I also like the idea of structuring my essay with PEE as this can make it easier for the reader to understand my point. 

On Friday, I started back on my tour of the Mad Hatter’s Circus. We have done three days of rehearsals, changing the show slightly for the spooky season and to have a refresh.  Im excited to see how I can incorporate my current contract into my blog posts and see what discussions it raises that might be useful for my essay.  I know I will need to keep my time in check in order to balance my work and study and look forward to navigating the obstacles ahead.

Watching back the writing workshop helped me find a new approach to how I can brainstorm ideas.   I really like the method of having a time scale and the notion of having to keep writing, which means I can consider many concepts and ideas without feeling like I need to be correct.     It felt like a safe space to write everything down that was in my head, ready for me to read back and decipher. I look forword to next lesson to dive deeper into academic writing.
