So for your 200 word min Research Data I’d like you to discuss what information your
surveys, experiments, interviews, and text analysis have provided you with! If you did
survey’s you’ll probably talk about numbers: how many people said X about Y. If you
did interviews you may want to talk about what was said and what questions you asked,
what information you gathered from the interview. If you did an experiment you may
want to talk about what happened during the experiment and the outcome. You may
want to look for patterns now, similarities in answers or situations, as well as moments in
your research that stick out like a sore thumb! Maybe everyone your surveyed said that
audience was important to them as they wrote, everyone but one person! Note that! This
section is about getting your information down and out.
● For your 200 word Research Analysis I’d like you to start thinking about what all
that info you just wrote about means! So if everyone but one person thinks about
audience when they write what does that mean? What about the patterns you found? The
similarities or the differences you came across in your experiments or interviews. What
does it all mean in the end?
HOMEWORK
● Continue working on your Research Data and Analysis. If your are behind, it is time to
catch up!
● For homework you’ll have the task of putting your analysis into conversation with your
initial ideas and question about writing studies! Now remember, it’s okay if your research
turned up info that seems to fly against your own hypothesis! Talk about it here! What
does that teach us about your interest and how people read/write/learn? Maybe it only
partially matches up or maybe it works perfectly with your hypothesis! I STILL want you
to talk about the ramifications for reading, writing or learning here. I also want you to
bring back some of the people you used in your lit review. How are those ideas meshing
(or not) with your research findings? Your conversation piece must also be a total of 200
words.
Your Research Data, Research analysis, and Conversation Piece must be added to your existing
essay(it should include your Intro, Lit Review, Connection Piece, Methodology already) and
posted as a new entry entitled “P2: YOUR NAME” on the blog by Thursday Midnight.
