Study Task 1 - Initial Ideas

This study task required me to make a mind-map of my chosen research topic and slowly expand my ideas out to help aid me when thinking of a question.

I started by writing down words and phrases that I thought I could expand upon and explore, and that also interested me. The poster below is my first draft which I will bring to my next lesson so I can discuss my initial ideas and potentially get inspiration from my peers.


I knew I wanted to focus on women and how they are represented in the media. I began this task by borrowing some books from the library. I am planning on looking at articles online that could also be of use. As this question may involve the history of women in animation, I am also planning on watching both older and more modern films to get a better understanding for myself.

In the following lesson we shared our diagrams in small groups and discussed different paths we could possibly take as the project progresses. Based on this feedback, I expanded my poster to the one below. I found this lesson very helpful.


This task made me consider alternate arguments and gave me a more solid idea of what I wanted to focus on in particular. From here, I will begin to sort my mind-map into potential paragraphs for my essay.
