Weeks 10-12 (April 5-23)

April 6

In class:

• Peer feedback on literature reviews
• Talk about data collection
• Get started on Paper Start 1 (use our articles in Perusall: how do they start their research papers? Here’s the most recent thing I had published too)
  • Start with one of your sources that provides an overview
  • Start with some history of the issue
  • Narrate a opening scene of a classroom
  • Explain how you became interested (is there a story to tell about how you were interested? An event you can narrate?)
  • Give an overview of the approaches or argument
  • Let’s talk about “a road map” for the reader early in the draft: in this paper, I argue that/I analyze/I explore…I start by and then, and then, finally I…

To Do before next class session:

• Paper Start 1 
• Data collection (interview (individual or group), artifact analysis, survey, field notes or observations, stats)
  • Primary source (your data) and maybe secondary sources (you find more research written by others)

Example interview protocol
