{Definitions taken from http://english.oxforddictionaries.com/}
I particulary like your choice of Queen as I think it has lots of potential and could have plenty of scope on the horizon search. Time travel is a concern as a choice as several people have chosen it. You could argue that this simply proves it's popularity as a topic- but you will need to make sure your research is original and unique with plenty of critical comment to make it your own.
ReplyDeleteMake sure you reference your source for your definitions (Oxford English dictionary etc.) Also be careful using small fonts - It is difficult to read. I would put your dictionary definitions and mind maps either in your introduction, or in your present day research - all the different pages could get confusing.
ReplyDeleteI like your subjects and it will be interesting to see where you go with them.
It would be a good idea to go over all your text adding any thoughts you have and instead of just having written links you should be attaching all the links to images to lead to the source of your info.
ReplyDeleteAlso, just name of author and date in brackets needed in body of blog and all your written links should appear in the bibliography instead of the blog text in Harvard referencing format.
Be careful not to plagiarize and lift text from other places.
Always put direct quotes in brackets and cite the author and date in brackets. Also include the link in Harvard format in the bibliography.
