Following the 12 steps outlined in this course will give you an introduction to several of the components of en ethnographic paper to ensure that your readers understand what you are doing and that you are doing justice to the information your participants provided. Before you start writing ask yourself: Who is my audience? Who do I want to read this? What do I want them to get out of this? What position am I going to take? Do I want to be distanced (3rd Person) or do I want to be more involved (1st person). Enjoy this project.
