Collating Evidence

Some ideas for what you could use as evidence:

• Excerpts from your learning journal or whatever format you were using to record and keep track of your learning
• A referenced list of all that you have read whilst exploring this topic (Bibliography)
• An annoted bibliography (a referenced list with your own notes added, of all that you have read) - not familiar with annotated bibliographies? - check out Annotated Bibliographies or Writing an Annotated Bibliography or Annotated Bibliographies: What they are and how to prepare one
• Notes of your reflections on conversations you were part of
• Links to shared learning or discussions on Moodle
• Teaching materials

It isn't time to write the narrative or story of your experience for this unit yet so keep gathering your learning evidence and move on to module 4 :Reflective Practice: How can I use this?
