AS to A2 progression lesson 8/6/15

Diligents,

here starteth the A2 hard graft...

h/w for tomorrow if possible, Friday if not: read the coursework intro booklet, focussing on the sections on reliability, comparablity and ethicality. If you have any questions, note them down and ask asap.

Before you chose the type of data you would like to investigate, we will do some activities to help you see what might work well by looking at some sample data.

Today: watch two of the following You Tube clips, then choose one to transcribe. Use the transcription conventions to transcribe the data then answer the following questions. In note form, write up your findings on your blog ready for next Monday.

1. Annotate the data. What is interesting about the language used?
2. What theory could you use when analysing the transcript? (add more annotation)
3. What other data could you collect that would compare with it?
4. What could you title an investigation into data like this? (Use the title format of an interrogative e.g. How does… or a declarative e.g. An investigation into…
5. What real data could you collect (rather than just going to You Tube?)

Your Powerpoint or other presentation about your findings should include:

• Which data you chose and why
• What you found and what theory you linked it to
• What other data you could choose to go with it or replace it with to make an investigation
• What you would call that investigation
