Notes on Bowling Ethnography
After reading Professor Williams' ethnography on the Hanover Bowladrome I learned a few things about bowling but I also found ways to improve my project. I took notes for myself to look at while I write my final project. I wrote down ideas that I could use in my project. They were mostly about the analysis and where she put it in to her essay. Also the way she split up her different sections. I think this gave me and idea of what I have to do in my project as well as learn a few things about bowling.

I also found it helpful that professor Williams gives us her examples for the essays we are writing. I take many things from her writing and apply in into mine. I liked how you could tell she worked hard on constructing her final paper, she did not copy and paste all three essays with transition paragraphs and a tacked on conclusion. I honestly find reading Professor Williams essay the most helpful tool in beginning to write me own essay.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Brian and Chantelle, gettintg to read an example of an ethnography and what the professor is looking for helps me when I write my final paper. I can reference back to it to see the steps she went through and the layout she chose. I can also see what useful information she used verses what she chose to cut out and how she transformed it into a story about a culture.
