Activity 1: working with narratives
Photo: TechCocktail
Please select one of the extracts
What markers of disciplinary practice are present?
How, if at all, do these disciplinary practices differ from your own?
Is having a sense of the narrative voice helpful? (As compared, say, to a 3rd person case study.)

How would you go about a similar sort of task? (eg, what examples might you write about? What discipline might you use for a comparison?
Activity 2: Suggestions for re-usePlease work in pairs or small groups.
1.On the sheets of paper provided, make a list of ways in which you think any of the sample texts could be used:
a. In an accredited academic professional development programme
b. In any other contexts2.If you have time, suggest other OERs that might be used in conjunction with these.
We will collect the results of this exercise at the end of the session and circulate all your suggestions.
