Task 4D: Literature

Over the past few weeks, I have researched and read literature related to teaching with performing as that is what I am most interested in for my line of inquiry. This will help me to develop my research in order to find the most appropriate title for my inquiry at the end of the Module.

I have used Summon, Middlesex University Library and Google which allowed me to read articles written on newspapers such as The Guardian, as well as articles written by industry professionals.

The resources I have found so far which have interested me and which will hopefully help me with my inquiry are below.:

I need to look more into book resources now as the majority I have found so far are from the internet so I think I would like to take a visit to the Middlesex University Library soon to find some more resources but I think the above resources are a good start.
