ORGANIZATION IS KEY!

I really like how on page 447 it talks about the different strategies. I am a very organized person and I like things to be "black and white" sort to speak so this part of the text really helps organize my thoughts. It talks about experiential strategies. Those consist of fieldnotes, double-entry notes, notes from our background reading, and other feildwork records like tapes and transcripts, photos and artifacts. It explains how in our fieldwriting, we will use this information to convince our readers that we were there, and that we saw the places, heard the people, and treid to interpret what they were doing. I really like how the author explains into detail what experiential stragegies are because it gives me a clear picture in my mind. It helps to remind me that I have been working hard on this project and I know a lot of information from all the observations and interviews and I need to give myself more credit for it. Another way to represent myself and my information is by rhetorical strategies and by aesthetic strategies. I think the other two are wonderful strategies as well but I really like the first one the best because it is the most personal. I do like the aesthetic strategy too because it talks about representing our information in a creative way and that is something I like to do! I love to be creative so I think that part of the project would be really fun. The text on pages 439-449 was very imformative and I believe it will help me for my final project!!
