Khan,Seth. “Putting Ethnographic Writing in Context.” Writing Spaces: Readings on Writing, vol 2, 2011, 175-192. |
| Summarize the article — include your reaction, thoughts, anything to help you remember its claims. 100 to 150 words | This article begins by explaining what ethnographic writing is and how it is a long writing process that you work on continuously. To be doing an ethnographic study you are studying the culture of one group and interacting with the culture things that take place. This article also lists the steps you will take when writing such a lengthy paper and what all goes into each step. One cool thing about this writing style is you are learning directly instead of looking through a window and analyzing it. You will also learn from others experiences as well through interviews and their emotions while interacting in their environment while you are there. |
| Define new terms and concepts by quoting or paraphrasing the original author. | “ethnography really highlights and emphasizes human relationships: between participants and researchers; between writers and readers of ethnographic narratives/ reports; between students and teachers in classrooms”(176).
“The term most synonymous with ethnography is participant-observation research”(176). “ ethnographers: observe, participate, interact, analyze, reflect, write, rethink, and describe cultures, their members, and our own involvements with them”(177). |
