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):
- What are my writing processes for
college level writing tasks?
- Are these writing processes
working well?
- Is there anything I need to change
about my writing processes?
