I'm glad to announce that "Writing Essays by Pictures: A Workbook" by
Alke Groppel-Wegener(ISBN 9780957665224) is now in print... just in time
for all those lovely new first years arriving at Uni!
This workbook uses visual methods to lead students through the process
of writing essays at University, including many of the steps we try to
teach in library sessions, from refining your research question ("The
Spotlight Specification"), through finding and evaluating sources of
information ("The Ocean of Literature", "The Fishscale of
Academicness"), to referencing ("The Forensic Trail"). It goes much
further than that though, and talks them through the whole process of
writing essays!
Designed for students to work through on their own or in workshops, it's
also full of creative and visual ideas for teaching information and
academic skills!
Available from all normal suppliers from today, list price £15,
currently £12.99 on Amazon (http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/0957665229) or
just £10 direct from the publisher
(http://innovativelibraries.org.uk/press/thebooks/).
