1. In your presentation of your codes = identify/categorize all codes. Discuss/set up a classification for which codes are in the same categories, and discuss connections among the different codes in terms of what they mean with respect to your research question.
2. Present your data as a narrative discussion.
3. Use your analytic process as a way to develop your research question. Then - when you write up your findings => use the more detailed, more specific research question to set up your essay. You can then use this detailed question to organize your presentation of analysis + your findings (as we discussed last class).
4. Discuss the overall patterns in your data in light of the research question => be sure to relate what you find back to your research question.
Short analysis essay. After talking through your analyses of the commenting data, we looked at the assignment sheet for the short analysis project. As pointed out by Liana, this is the warm up or "baby" research paper. For this assignment - you will develop a research question for an analysis of one of the 4 data sets we have looked at so far. And you will get a chance to practice writing up all the parts of a research essay except the review of the literature and the methods sections.
For next class:
Read: We will begin with a discussion of the "Teacher Training" essays - so review them. This is a model for "auto/biograhical" research.
Also read: Introduction + Chapter 1 & 2 in your text book= Gee, An Introduction to Discourse Analysis.
Blog 12: We spent the last part of class talking about which data set you might want to work with - and what research question you might ask. This post should include which data set you will work with, a detailed research question, and some ideas for the features of the data that you will be working with.
Also, as we discussed in class - the purpose of working out this question is to focus your post for Blog 13, next Thursday's post = a draft for your short analysis project suitable for workshopping/feedback in class.
