Free Write for Thursday 3/29

Reflect on the structure of Karen Pryor's "Reaching Minds". If you'd like to, take a minute to glance back through the essay looking at how the sections are formed and noticing how the essay charts her research into and experience with positive reinforcement. Notice how the essay is broken into manageable sections by topic and often by question.

Write a project narrative. This is outlined on CW 424, which you can take a look at before you begin or at the very least as part of your homework over break, but I'll briefly outline the key components here:

  • Use your FQ as the title
  • Then tell the story of your thinking about your FQ and your topic from the beginning of your research to now
  • If you have direct experience with the topic, tell those stories as well
  • Discuss how your working knowledge of the topic has changed
  • As you finish for homework, feel free to quote, paraphrase, and summarize your research, but be sure to cite as you do
