Welcome to Week 6, Wider perspectives.
Have you ever thought that by looking at something from a different perspective or angle it leads to new ideas, new solutions to old problems? Perhaps a friend has suggested a different way to cook a favourite recipe or a new way to develop a sports skill? Or a trip has given you a new perspective on something?
When you start to study a new subject it’s really important to see what’s already been written about that subject and to begin to see how that links to your thinking. That can be really difficult to start with but it can also be really stimulating and it does mean that you’re not reinventing the wheel all the time.
We called this week ‘Wider perspectives’. OK they take you away from your own thinking but we think you’ll find that useful to understand your own learning even better.
