We spent class using the language features handout (see previous post) to characterize language use in the Gaming transcript. This was to give you some practice naming and classifying what is going on in a transcript (one form of data) as a way to develop - and answer - research questions.
This work was to give you some practices doing the kind of thinking about, naming, and organizating you will need to do for your Short Analysis Project.
For next class:
Blog 13: Choose the transcript you will analyze for your short analysis project. Name some of the language moves you see as important to what seems to be going on in your transcript. Identify the cultural discourses (Dominant Discourses - or other personal Discourses the participants might identify with) that seem to be shaping conversations in your transcript . Pose a research question. Begin listing/describing what you will use as evidence to support your discussion of your answer.
Read: handout on interviews.
In class, we will talk about how to create interview protocols (sets of interview questions), and how to conduct interviews. You will also spend some time workshopping your short analysis essays.
