Analyticals,
EDIT: LAST CALL FOR EVIE MINI INVESTIGATIONS - BY WED PM OR I WILL HAVE TO TAKE DISCIPLINARY STEPS AND NO, YOU CAN'T USE TODAY'S LESSON TO DO IT IN!
you need to carry on working on your corsework while I do 1-2-1s:
The analysis should have a very short intro evaluating what you are starting with and why - each section could also have a brief explanation of what you are exploring and how e.g. if you are looking at Tannen's information vs feelings, explain what you will count as 'information'-related talk and what you will consider 'feelings' (e.g. words from the lexical field of feelings - would this leave anything significant out? How could you broaden the definition?). this is known as 'deining your terms' - taken into account the limited scope of the investigation and try and reduce any subjectivity (words could be said from their denotation to be from the lexical field of feelings so that is not subjective but how emotive a word is would be - it involves you making a judgement that could be argued with).
If you still can't work on your analysis and you have done all the theory reading you need to, work on CLA by starting on the research quiz I have given you - find out a lot about one of the answers and put the detailed exploration on your blog e.g. what was the 'wugs' research about and how was it done, what does it suggest, what does it link to etc? Or embed the learning from Friday's lesson by listening to some young children talk on Youtube and noting the kind of non-standard pronunciations they use - do some quantification of which patterns seem to be the most common and put your findings on your blog.
Wonderful!
Thanks!
