One of the things we would have done in class tonight was to go over the assignment sheet for the research project to allocate points. I have posted the assignment sheet (also to the right) so you have the parameters/criteria for its different parts. In class next week we can decide how you want to allocate points.
At this point I have talked with just about everyone, and almost all of you have identified a solid focus for your projects, have identified texts from the course to guide your theory + methods, and are beginning to identify specific sections of data you will use to develop/illustrate your ideas.
If you are still hazy on any of the above - schedule another conference before next class.
For next class (same post = but placing you at your next step):
Blog: Keep working on the focus (write it a
number of different ways = but not as a formal introduction), think about the
theorists you want to use and think about the ideas that
connect.
Identify sections of text (stories) from your transcript (or
other observations) and write about what they might "show" with respect to your
focus.
Develop some sections of text (focus, statements about theorists,
block quotes from transcript + discussion) that you can work on in class.
We will use the blogs as a basis for an in-class workshop, similar to what we had planned for this week. Also we will pick up Bamberg.
