Analytic Commentary
– It is a piece of analysis – not an essay.
– The observation of play or sample of thinking or representation and brief details about the context is attached to the commentary as an appendix.
– Use a theoretical framework to analyse and comment on your observation sample. You can also use the sample to question or challenge aspects of theory.
– Number the lines of the observation to refer to in the text if helpful
– Keep description to a minimum. Analyse, comment, discuss, question, and reflect.
– Use short quotes integrated into your text. The quote must illuminate the point that you are making or used to argue against.
– Comment on the theory & raise possible questions
– Check the format for referencing. Quotes must be page precise
– Keep a thread of meaning running through your commentary. Each paragraph should flow from one to the other with signposting to help the reader. You are building an argument through your analysis
– Wide reading helps to get a close match between your observation sample and theory
– Discuss the wider implications for example for policy, practice, research etc. Raise some critical questions and reflect on your own thinking and practice
– Draft and re-draft to ensure a succinct style
– A good commentary is sharply focused, succinct, and well informed by theory, which is used in a critical, reflective way. It identifies implications for policy, practice or research. It has a clear thread to the argument and finishes on a strong note.
