Make sure youve read and viewed Putting Ethnographic Writing in Context by Seth Kahn, Walk, Talk, Cook, Eat: A Guide to Using Sources by Cynthia R. Haller, and George Mason University Writing Center webpage How to Write a Research Question before beginning this journal. Next, answer these questions: 

(1) Ethnographic writing includes more than observations. Based on what you learned from Kahns article, what is ethnography? Describe the similarities and differences between Project #2 and the ethnographic writing Kahn described in his essay.

(2) Kahns essay mentions consent forms, and while you wont be conducting interviews for this project (so there is no need to collect forms), its important that you keep in mind the ethics of representation. In your own words, define ethics of representation and describe how they apply to Project #2. What can you do to make sure you are behaving ethically as a researcher while completing Project #2? Be specific.

(3) In Hallers text, the character Online Professor (O-Prof) states that A bigger problem with Internet search engines, though, is that they wont necessarily lead you to the sources considered most valuable for college writing (p. 197). What does she mean? Explain.

(4) Using the critique model and examples provided on pages 204-207 of Hallers article, break down Project #2 into ingredients, processes, and product. (5) Draft your research question. It doesnt need to be perfect at this point; rather, write something down to get started. Include as many iterations of it as needed. 

After reading and/or viewing Reading Games: Strategies for Reading Scholarly Sources by Karen Rosenberg, the video Why Use Library Databases, and the handout Scholarly vs. Popular Publications, answer these questions/prompts:

(5) Locate one source that you will include in your Annotated Bibliography (and, ultimately, in your Project #2 essay). Next, describe your process for finding it. Did you use Techs databases? Google Scholar? Why? How do you know the source is scholarly? Explain.

(6) Using the reading strategies described by Rosenberg, and writing it in your own words, identify the main argument or idea.

(7) Using the Purdue OWL as a guide, cite your source using APA.   https://writingcenter.gmu.edu/guides/how-to-write-a-research-question
