So far for my research I have made a sutori, planned out my strategy on how Pinelake College is a community, and conducted interviews/attended PL College to answer some of the questions that I have surrounding it.
I still need to touch up my interview process and I need to come up with a plan on how I am going to get the word out about Pinelake College and truly exemplify and show people how exactly to become a part of this community.
I don’t think I really have any concerns regarding my research at the moment! Sometimes it can be a bit challenging to find information/research on my topic or regarding my topic but other than that it is going great!
So far, all of my research has gone pretty good. I was a little confused on what exactly a scholarly source was so I did not do to great on my MP 2, however, now I know a bit more about it and I know what to look for in the future. My research has really shown that it is not just Ann Johns or in class that we talk about having a discourse community and the importance of it. In fact, a lot of my research has shown a lot of people talk about it and see it as something really important to have in life! It was really refreshing to see how many people agreed with the research that I was doing that being a part of a community, more specifically being a part of a church community is really important and can be extremely beneficial to your life. Overall, I am really happy with the research that I have done so far and I have found out a lot more details about the importance of a discourse community and seen a lot more perspectives to it that I never would have thought of before!
