BLOG ENTRY FOR WEDNESDAY 14TH MAY 2008

This week I have rewritten this literature review. I have attempted to show the process of rethinking which I’ve engaged with and I’ve also tried to show that rewriting is a messy process, which it certainly is here. Have re-read this literature review now, it seems somewhat disjointed and there are lapses in some of my thinking. This is always the case with first drafts of my writing as it tends to take me several attempts to get my writing into good shape. But the process of writing academically can be seen as a struggle to sharpen thought and understanding. It is impossible for me to write perfectly in the first attempt – I need at least 4 or 4 goes.

Next week I will upload my latest rewriting which will include some reworking of the power of the text and other reading strategies useful to students. Any comments on these areas or any others, would be gratefully received!
