Summarize the article — include your reaction, thoughts, anything to help you remember its claims. 100 to 150 words |
The author of this article makes Ethnographic writing the main topic of this article. Khan states that Ethnographic writing will allow the writer to “generate, collect, analyze, synthesize more material.” Khan then lists the steps to ethnographic writing. These steps consist of first reflecting in peer writing, forms and notes, keeping a journal, and then finally a draft revision. Khan explains an experience that happened to him in his college class. Khan includes this experience in the article to allow the audience to understand the thoughts and consequences that go beyond the paper they are writing. This article allowed me to learn more about a different kind of writing I had never heard of before. |
