POSTING #10

I plan on using a similar structure for my mini-ethnography that I used for the research proposal.  I like how the headings in the proposal organized thoughts and gave the reader an idea about what they were going to read before they began.  I plan on changing a few titles in the headings to make the topics seem more interesting to the reader.  I plan on beginning by reading over my research proposal for ideas.  I might start by profiling one of my more interesting informants.  I know I will talk a lot about my position in the culture and interest in it.  I am going to try to write my paper in a way that makes it easier for outsiders to follow while keeping them interested.  I believe that my headings/paper will be organized into themes, giving the reader the ability to easily recognize them.  I will also call attention to some main focal points of the culture; things as to why I feel the culture is headed the direction I think it is.  I believe that this structure, for me is the best approach to take when writing my ethnography.  By organizing my paper this way I believe the whole process will come easier to me and will also allow for a more fluent and relevant paper.
