It must include a content sheet and separate list of sources. Draw on theory or theories to explain the scrapbook-issue, drawn from the module. • Evaluate the relevance of such theory to the issue, and how the issue informs the theoretical discussion and debate.

For your scrapbook and the assignment you should consider the significance of the scrapbook topic you have evaluated within the context of the module as a whole. Why and how is it significant? What lesson can we learn for it? How might the theories and examples covered in IPE help to better understand the scrapbooks content? List of Contributions: At the time of submission of scrapbook you will also submit a list of your contributions in the prescribed format. That contribution list is formative in nature and would be used to judge your contribution to the scrapbook.
