In class today we went over drafts - with particular focus on the data section. For those of you who missed class - come to CAS 314 on Monday prepared to give a presentation on your essay to your classmates. Post your essay on your blog, and give us a brief overview of each section:
Introduction (where you set up your findings);
Review of the literature (state what each author/publication presents on your subject and how it is relevant to your findings);
Methods (brief description of your data collection circumstances (where you were, how many sessions you observed etc) strategy (what your notes focused on & maybe how you discovered that focus) and how you analyzed your data);
Presentation of your data (narrative descriptions of relevant actions, interactions, consequences etc in the sessions you observed)& interpretation;
Conclusions
Research papers (as you can see) are rather formulaic - hopefully this will make your writing easier.
Your class presentations will be an opportunity for feedback + revision. Good luck with your writing and see you in class Monday.
