12.4 Overall form for research essay + what we are doing for the rest of the term

You started today's class by making a map of the sections in a research essay and mapping out what you would write in each section: introduction, review of the research literature, discussion of methods, presentation of data, analysis of data, conclusions.  We then talked through each section in some detail, describing what you will write with respect to your project in each section.

We also spent some time talking through how you are doing with your interviewing and transcribing.  Send me your transcript/or post it as soon as you are able so we (your classmates, you and I) can work on your data together.

Next week you will begin giving presentations on your projects.  I will go over the specific criteria for your projects in class Thursday.

For next class:
Continue working on your project and bring materials to class so you can workshop your writing so far.

Blog 24:  Post a set of objectives for what you need to do to finish your project, and a list of questions regarding any areas where you want help.
