Today we met with Alison to clear up concerns we had about whether we should be writing up essays for our findings, and also to get advice on what our next steps are in the process.
Alison informed us that we do not need to write essays, but should be collecting our findings to use in our upcoming presentation. She did say that it didn't matter if some group members have already started writing an essay as this can help with working out what to put in the presentation.
She also brought up some concerns of her own that Jordyn's topic of pragmatics may be difficult as pragmatics is usually concerned with speech. She reccommended a book to look at: Meaing in Interaction by Jenny Thomas, as this may be useful.
One thing that Alison highlighted we need to do is cover ethical issues by anonomysing all the letters by replacing names with initials and/or false names.
Our next step is to plan how we are going to organise our presentation. We need to choose whether we are going to read from a script or speak more informally, and how we are going to take turns in speaking.

ReplyDeleteThanks, Olivia. Yes, this covers some of the main things that needed sorting out. Don't forget to add pages to your blog to keep your analyses and lengthier discussions separate from the summaries of your progress. And the drop-in session in Week 9 is there if you need it. Keep up the good work.
