What we have done and what we need to do
Looking back:
We had a slow start with our project where our initial research proposal was holding us back from progressing forward. Nevertheless, with the help and feedback from Alison, which we are grateful for, we now have a new research proposal that we are all confident has a lot more potential. It has been hard trying to pick ourselves up as a group and start fresh but we have proven to work as a team and accomplish such hurdles which will hopefully benefit the outcome of our project. We have selected our sources which are two war declaration speeches by Bush and Chamberlain. We are currently analysing these two speeches in accordance to our delegated roles whilst reading relevant literature and critically analysing each source we refer to. We are each designing a survey that we will bring to our meeting next week so we can design and publish one survey that has been carefully and thoroughly thought out.
Looking forward...
Next week we are meeting with Alison on Monday to discuss our progress and receive feedback on our idea for a corpus investigation. On Tuesday we are meeting for two hours in which time we aim to finalise our survey and publish it so we can start to collect and analyse data relative to our own analysis of the two speeches. We are also meeting for one hour on Thursday next week to start putting our presentation together so we don't have to do it all in one go right before the deadline. So the main thing we need to do is collect data and start formulating a presentation.
This is a good and detailed summary, and has been complemented by our meeting on Monday. From your subsequent post, it looks as though you are making very good progress now, and I look forward to seeing the outcome. If you look on the wiki, there is a lot of detail there about the presentations, exhibition and assessment, which some of you were asking me about when we met.
ReplyDeleteIncidentally, did you see my request on Canvas for help with a survey being done by a Turkish PhD student? Please have a look and respond if not!
Keep up the good work!
