PROJECT BRIEF - ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY (this project is non-assessed but contributes towards RESEARCH PRESENTATION 1 - ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY AND RESEARCH PROPOSAL and the REFLECTIVE JOURNAL)
The structure guidelines for the ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY are taken from: Williams, Woolliams and Spiro (2012).
This link is very helpful...
1. WHAT? (key texts recorded with reference and personal notes of description...)
- To annotate means: add notes to (a written work) (Collins Gem English dictionary, 2006, p.22).
- THE ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY is a research exercise rather than a formal BIBLIOGRAPHY OR REFERENCE LIST. It is a series of posts on your REFLECTIVE JOURNAL of your main texts. The posts should include your own notes of summary and reflection.
- THE ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY should be included within your REFLECTIVE JOURNAL.
- An annotated bibliography of key texts can be a useful addition to research but should not replace the conventional references and BIBLIOGRAPHY and REFERENCE LIST for the final submission of written work.
What is the difference between a reference list and a bibliography?

6/10/15 - ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY - DAWN FRENCH'S 'A TINY BIT MARVELLOUS'
French, D. (2011 [2010] ) ‘A tiny bit marvellous’. London: Penguin.
This is a novel by the comedian Dawn French. It focuses on the Battle family with chapters written in the first person of either the mother Mo, the teenage daughter Dora or the teenage son Oscar. It is set in Pangbourne (is that where Dawn French is from?)
The main characters are Mo and Dora and much of the story rests on the idea of menopausal mother and teenage daughter. (The teenage son is gay). The character of Dora is hilarious - you can almost hear Dawn French reading it. I am reminded of the schoolgirl characters she and Jennifer Saunders used to portray in their comedy sketch programme years ago (1980s?) Dora is fed up with her mum and fed up with school in equal measure.
There is a lot of good material about education from both Dora and Mo’s points of view. I have used Dora’s thinking regarding taking her Art GCSE as part of the CRITICAL RESEARCH PAPER PROJECT BRIEF (in order to show what 400 words look like - the students have to write 4000). I would like to do more and include it as one of the FICTION READINGS.

2. HOW? (summarise, evaluate, reflect...)
Key texts should be referenced according to the Harvard reference system. After each reference write brief notes of reflection in 3 stages
- Summarise (what is it about?) - include notes on the author's purpose, aim or question and the(main argument, central idea, findings or conclusions. What sort of text is it? General? Specific?
- Evaluate (what do you think about it?) - include notes on any particular strengths or points of interest. Identify any similarities or differences with other things you have read, or ideas you already have.
- Reflect (how can I use it?) - has the text helped you to understand something better or to see/do something differently?
3. WHY? (learning outcomes...)
The learning outcomes which are important for the assessment of the ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY are in bold underlined
- To self-manage ongoing independent academic research on subjects of personal interest within fashion and textiles.
- To show understanding of the relationship between academic research and studio practice.
- To show knowledge of the historical, technical and social development of post-industrial fashion and textiles.
- To show awareness of theoretical issues within fashion and textiles.
- To present research (secondary and original) in an academic form (written and verbal) conforming to academic conventions (Harvard reference system).
- To show analysis and evaluation of research.
