You should have received some feedback on your blogs (including the blog where you posted your research tools - the interview protocol, plan for observation, method for collecting data , etc. Some of you have handed in your informed consent forms - and hopefully the rest of you are making arrangements for your interview/observation and will have the informed consent materials in soon.
We spent the middle of class looking at the literature review sections in Martin, and in the first Sample Research Essay. We reviewed both the forms for citing literature in text, and "researcher discourse" for connecting to references that include information or methods relevant to your project. This page on the Purdue Owl gives you all the details.
During the last section of class, you worked on your projectgs. If you aren't sure about your interview protocol or the references you will be using for your project - send me an email or talk to me in class so we can get you started. The first workshop on your data will be April 16 = two weeks from last class. Don't underestimate how long it is going to take to transcribe your interview!
For Tuesday:
Read: Sample Essays 1 & 2 (posted top right of this blog)
Blog 18: Develop some writing for your project. Post the references you will use for your research project as you will list them in the works cited list, and write what you will say about them in your literature review. If you don't have a the right reference yet - write an introduction that sets up your research question.
In class we will look through the sample projects, look at the criteria on the assignment sheet, develop a rubric, and do some thinking about what these writers might have worked on.
Have a great weekend - it is supposed to be a beautiful day on Sunday.
