introduction

• set out a sense of common ground
  • don't restate the question, resort to dictionary definitions of key terms, or give account of everything that is to follow.
  • what is known about this topic?
  • how have critics written about this topic in the past?
• destabilisation
  • what is known about the 'common ground' that needs to be pushed further?
  • in what ways do i see the common ground differently to those who have written on it?
  • make way for own argument by destabilising common ground
• value

first few days:

• read text in full, more than once, making notes as i read.
• note down my reactions, reflect on them.
• use text to shape my thoughts: write notes, them shape them into MY argument.
• move between my notes and the text, develop ideas.

next day or two:

• draft my own answer to the question without any scholarly work.

after first draft:

• go to library or appropriate online sources to find out what scholars have said about the question i am answering.
• keep record of everything i read so that i can reference it properly: put quotations in quotation marks and note down page numbers for both quotes and paraphrases.
