The key finding of the above information. Do not just place all of your secondary research in it. Show what sources you have used, then you must show your own personal response and development of the work.

Your additional sketchbook - a visual and written diary of your progress
May contain evidence of secondary research, with annotation explaining your thoughts and ideas, how you are progressing on a daily basis with your project. This should then lead nicely into your blogspot.

Your blogspot
This is imperitive this year. Take a look back at the succesful blogs last year. you need to start adding to it immediatley, it should look like a visual and written diary of what you are doing, why you are doing it, the influences that are leading you. It should not just be a repetition of what you have done, or photographs of what you have done. It needs to have meaning and be responsive to your work.

By the end of week 1, all of the above should be progressing at a high level and be directional to how you wish your personal study to progress.
