Hello everyone,
I hope you're hard at work revising your second drafts, which are due Thursday, February 27. Again, your aim is to achieve a balance between narrative elements and research in your long-form essays.
I hope you're hard at work revising your second drafts, which are due Thursday, February 27. Again, your aim is to achieve a balance between narrative elements and research in your long-form essays.
To help you get started, you will write an interview of the person you're focusing on in your long-form narratives. If you're doing an object, you will either interview the person who gave it to you, or you will pretend to interview the object, and imagine what it would say to you. The latter option is a highly creative strategy whose aim is to get you brainstorming about possible attached stories you have yet to consider. It will also help you gather your research on the object.
Tuesday we will work together to discuss questions and how to conduct an interview. Use the data you find from your interview to add research to your essays. Please post the interviews you've written by Sunday, March 2.
By Tuesday, March 4, I would like you to choose a public spot. You will write an ethnography of 500-700 words. To get started, think of a public place you enjoy going to regularly or a place you've always wanted to explore. You'll mingle in this place for about 30 min or one hour.
An ethnography uses research to describe cultures in concrete detail. So choose a place you feel a connection to. Get creative! And you will post these ethnographies to the blog by midnight.
More blog posts will follow that will aid you in the upcoming posts.
Enjoy your day!
