“classifying, categorising, systematising, systemising, indexing, listing, archiving, make an
inventories of, inventory, recording, registering, filing, logging, enumerating, alphabetising,
itemising, pigeonholing, tabulating”
Your .CATALOGUE. submission will consist of a 2000 word essay,

This essay will be based on the question you have chosen from one of
the lectures you attended and will be developed by your CTS tutor
during your Thursday CTS sessions.
The introduction to your essay will tell the reader WHY you chose this
subject, HOW you went about finding out more about the subject.
Your .CATALOGUE. will also contain 6 “Appendices” which will be an
archive of articles of all the 6 lectures you had in the Spring Term 2,
which you will have recorded in detail on your .BLOG.
It will have an introduction at the beginning of the Catalogue that tells
the reader why you have constructed your catalogue in the way you have
and you will also have a contents page that will help the reader navigate
through your work.
.HOW. you lay out your catalogue, the size and the format will be
entirely up to you. You may wish to have a consistent style through out
or you may want to have a style that is particular to each lecture. Some
of the lectures may lend themselves to use more text while others may
be much more image based.
Your essay can be at the beginning, middle or end of your .CATALOGUE.
and you will have to decide which works best for the reader and the
reading/viewing of the work.
Your .BLOG. entries will be the starting point for the construction of
your Catalogue and the more you have done on them the easier you will
find to process this work into coherent, concise and thoughtful pieces.
