Activity 1: Analysis of a Featured Article

As a group we chose the article of "The Sirens of Ulysses" from the list of featured articles to discuss the characteristics of featured articles. The Sirens and Ulysses

Using this article we collected some main characteristics:


 * Subheadings are helpful, topics lead into one another (background --> composition --> restoration)
 * Brief description of images that are relevant to the topic and mostly provide background
 * Contains balanced, opposing critical judgements
 * Broader statements always backed up by references to academics
 * Lots of references, arranged correctly. Does not rely on too many sources, uses each extensively
 * Writing style is brief and expository, but still discusses sophisticated concepts
 * Paragraphs are short, clear differentiation between topics
 * Images are relevant to the discussed section, reuses images when necessary
 * Opener summarises multiple elements and covers basic information
 * Includes Template at the end that links to broader topic hyperlinks for further reading
 * Explicit references to original academics, clear that article is based off work
 * Footnote adds further detail without cluttering the article
