Blog Post #8

In your eighth blog post, I would like you to consider the revisions that you'll be making to your ethnography essays. Essentially, I would like you to pick out three moments in your essays that you'll be revising for your final draft and explain the impetus behind these decisions. Some questions you might consider are: How did the idea for the change you're going to make come about? Was it pointed out by a reader? Did you spot it on your own? Why are you making this change? What do you think it will do for the paper? Why is it important to make this change? For information's sake? For logic's sake? For clarity's sake?

Remember that revisions are changes to ideas/content/structure (not small scale changes like punctuation). If you're having trouble identifying three moments that you will be revising, consider suggestions that your readers made that you decided not to change. What is your reason for keeping this as is?

Write at least 300 words (about a hundred per revision) and post by the beginning of class on Tuesday, November 19th at 11 a.m. As always, let me know if you have any questions.
