A Table of Contents…

I have already posted about the structure, sequence and proportion of presentation. You can capture this through the elaboration of a table of contents for your text.

Use headings for the larger sections (chapters)

introduction, thematic, the research question, evidence, analysis and conclusion

and use sub-headings for the different sub-sections within each of these larger sections.

A proper table of contents will express the sequence and proportion of parts, and you will be able to see, at a glance, that everything fits together and is in the correct order. Also, the contents page can be elaborated as an expression of typographic organisation and presentation. It’s design!

You may also want to plot assessment criteria and learning outcomes against the contents…just to make sure you understand where these important elements are located. You can also summarise your sequence of learning in the conclusion…that would be an expression of reflective practice.

I recommend a contents page for your contextual writing, and also for the presentation of your studio work and process PDF.
