First of all, we took the general idea of LOVE- what a an epic word! Who even knows what it means nowadays, there are so many ways of looking at it, its almost impossible to define in any way at all. It means something different to everybody! I have love for so many things, in so many different ways. It is a very beautiful, mysterious thing; everyone wants to love and be loved!
So back to the point.. We then brainstormed using this huge indescribable word as the centre point and branch off with as many ideas as possible... gestures of love, a place of love, love for you're job or you're partner, love in different cultures... the list was endless!
We then had a look at the page and tried to focus onto one or two main concepts of love. Something that interested us the most as a group, something we wanted to investigate further. We took the idea of Obsession, and entered the word into google to see what we found. Paula helped show us that the first hits on google weren't necessarily the best or most related searches. We went through and looked at the second, third page and found some much more interesting sources. We then tried to enter into Summon... entering different keywords to get the most relevant information was really useful and helped me to understand how I can get the most out of Summon when looking for sources for my literature review.
The session today helped to focus my thoughts and helped me to understand how you can take what seems like a huge idea or task and begin to concentrate and direct you're thoughts toward somewhere more specific. Using my study time wisely is so important and I feel that I have discovered new tools and ways of helping me to contain my thought process and gain a wider perspective on the topic at hand!!
Much Love xxxxx
