3.8 Autoethnography again!

Thank you for your patience and good work on this project.  We used the assignment sheet provided by your text book - but it is clear that assignment introduced too much information all at once.  So we have broken it down further.

We made clear that this is a kind of 3 in 1 assignment where you:

1. Write an essay (or something) - such as the reaction papers.

2.  Collect data on your writing process as you write your essay (such as the reaction paper).

3. Write an essay (the autoethnography) where you analyze what you learned from the data you collected on your writing process.

More support documents:
Autoethnography assignment sheet (posted to the right) reviews the directions from the text and in the last blog post, and sets forward the specific points I will be looking for in the autoethnography essay, and how you will be graded.

Brainstroming list for autoethnograpy gives you some prompts for the points you will need to address in your autoethnography essay.

We spent the remainder of class in one-on-one sessions working on your data collection documents and your autoethnography.

For next class:
If said on the calendar that the draft autoethnography was due at the end of class today - if you have a draft that you would like written feedback on - send it to the class email ENG3005waw@gmail.com.

If you are still working on your data and writing through the prompts on the brainstorming list - that is OK, you can send your draft on Monday.  

We will spend both classes next week workshopping drafts and revising.

Good class and have a great weekend.
