ENG 225 Week 8: Conducting Primary Research

Today’s Plan:

  • Reviewing Week 7 Methodologies
  • Developing and Testing Week 8 Methodologies
  • Williams and Bizup, Characters and Actions (Time Permitting)
  • For Next Class

Reviewing Week 7 Methodologies

I’m going to spend X minutes per team reviewing their corpus collection methodology and checking in on progress. Each group was emailed instructions either last week or this weekend.

Race Team
Here’s a link to the workspace.As of 9:30 Tuesday morning, two people have inputted their data.

Let’s review/discuss the analytical paths I laid out in your document. I have created a placeholder Google Form. [Marc: Go back through and review genre checkboxes]

Gender Team
Their collection research methodology is probably the simplest; in the workspace I lay out two paths forward for the rest of the research (I think I’m leaning toward the latter).

LGBTQ Team
We need to talk–I think there might only be one person in the Tuesday group on this team?

I emailed out a question to the team but have only heard back from Rae and Kam.

Let’s Test Out Some Potential Methodologies

Depending on time, I’d like to spend 10 minutes per team. I’ve got some mock handouts.

Williams and Bizup

Depending on how long our conversations take, I expect we might have some time left near the end of class today. I want to go back over the Characters and Actions syntax I introduced earlier in the course.

For Next Class

Tuesday folk: depending on how our conversation went today, this is going to be fluid. As with last week, I will email out an update on exactly what is due next week after I meet with the Thursday folks.

Once I do, there will be a Week 8: X assignment in Canvas (similar to the two week 7 assignments).
