New found hope to start working again on my inquiry!

Thanks very much to Sarah Pearson & Liam Conman for their interesting insights into yesterday's campus session and giving very detailed explanations into the work we need to do for our inquiry's. I am truly grateful.

I have realised that I can now answer my questions from my previous blog post. I will be posting shortly a review of the notes Paula gave me in my inquiry submission. If however you don't see another post from me today it's not because I can't be asked, it's because work is crazy. However I will be "Pumping Iron"- Starlight Express

Hope everyone is having a stress-free working environment.

Best of Luck to all!

Module 3

Hi all,

I hate to be behind but things have been really crazy lately. I still work for Razzamataz and I am still basing my inquiry on Razzamataz. I spoke with Paula a few weeks back and she suggested that because Razzamataz offer an Arts Award at Bronze, Silver, & Gold level that I should look at other forms of this type of education for my literature review. The Bronze award is equivalent to a E & above at GCSE Level, the Silver award is equivalent to a C & above at GCSE Level, and the Gold level is equivalent to 2 A-Levels. I then thought where should I start? Do I look at Colleges? National Curriculum Schools? But I have now begun to realise that I don't really understand what it means to review the literature. Is it like a report? Or how it links into what we offer at Razzamataz? I have researched Colleges but haven't really concluded this task. It seems that the websites of the Colleges and the course information centres can't give me the knowledge or literature I want to gain.

So I walked one step forward to go two steps back...... It's just confusing.

For my friends who work in Theatre/Performing Arts schools How did you conduct your literature reviews?

Any help is much appreciated. I do wish to catch up on work asap.

I won't be at the campus session tomorrow unfortunately, but I know that we all take notes and post them to our blogs. So thanks in advance.
