Once you have finished the writing CIT, take the recordings and transcribe the important moments (type them).

The Analysis:
1.      Once you have finished the writing CIT, take the recordings and transcribe the important moments (type them).
2.      Next, you will analyze your writing process by listening to your recording several times and reading the typed transcript.  Take notes as you do this, and ask and answer questions like:
ü  What processes did I use? Did I pre-plan (outline, free-write bubble map, think about the assignment, look at the assignment), Did I revise (edit, move words paragraphs, erase…), Did I re-organize paragraphs, Did I change my thesis, Did I read-over my writing, Did I have anyone else review my writing, etc.
ü  What are the various steps I went through? See above and actual activities, ie your activities, did you stay seated and write without distractions or were there interruptions?,
ü  What seems to be working well?
ü  What problems did I encounter?
ü  How do I make decisions about the writing task?
ü  How do I talk about myself as a writer?
ü  What did I learn about myself as a writer?
ü  What are my primary concerns when I write and revise—words, audience, organization, etc.?
The Paper: Once you have recorded yourself writing the CIT, transcribed the recordings and analyzed the data, you will outline how you would like to convey that data to your audience (myself and your classmates).  What are the answers to your research questions?   If you do not introduce your quotes/attribute your paraphrases, you will also cite your own transcript by using parenthetical citations referring your last name.  Your transcript will have an entry on your works cited page. (Use your Lunsford text for guidance).
In this 2 page-paper, you should answer all three-research questions (incorporate these questions into your thesis):
  1. What are my writing processes for college level writing tasks?
  2. Are these writing processes working well?
  3. Is there anything I need to change about my writing processes?
