Week 13 announcements and homework for 12/1

Today in class you will be given a Strategies Worksheet. The three strategies are nothing

as inventive as the wheel, but they are basic strategies used in drafting and revising:

1) Homework for December 1st: 

- Write me a 1-page (minimum) Dear Christopher letter, which includes:

1. One (1) paragraph response to Peer Review of draft.

-name of review; how they helped

2. 2-3 paragraphs discussing your ethnography:

- Name your working thesis

- Name the cultural norms and behavior your developing

  from your thesis -->

- discuss organization/ structure:

- provide the specific section names, and/or

- provide the smaller claims you're discussing in ethnography

-Name 2-3 secondary sources that you know you are using

-give a brief explanation for each, answering: 

1. why/how you are using

- historical perspective?

- foundation for theory on behavior

- similar study?

- ??? 

3. Anything else you want to include in terms of discussing your project 

    that may be addressed before the final draft is due.

2) December 1st: We will continue discussing drafting, revising, and other aspects of the ethnography, as we gear towards presentations. Our main classroom focus, now, is on maximizing the integration of our research, especially secondary sources, into our ethnography papers.

Final Note for post: I will be posting some example student ethnographies within the next day. These examples may be posted here and/or on Oasis.

- please note: the aspect most often lacking in final ethnographies in past semesters has been the incorporation of secondary sources (library-found research).  Don't make our two trips to the library go to waste; those trips are meant to emphasize the importance of secondary sources.
