AssignmentContent.docx1) INTRODUCTION
Ensure that your research has a Theme (Topic) and a Research Question. Together with your reason(s) for wanting to do this research, your choice of setting or research site and a short summary of your essay, all these information must go into your Introduction paragraph. The theme and research question must be explicitly stated. This paragraph should be at least 150 words.
2) LITERATURE REVIEW
Depending on your theme (and not your research question) find at least 5 ACADEMIC journals relating to your theme. Read them thoroughly, pick out the key points and do a discussion of these points by the different authors. DO NOT do a summary of each journal and then listing them. Just discuss what these literature says, please do not relate them to your findings at this stage. This paragraph should be around 450 words.
3) THE TRIP ITSELF / METHOD and RESULTS (or Findings)
This paragraph should come in 3 parts.
The first part (The trip itself ) should be a brief description of your trip and should includes items like your travel experience, the destination and the mode of transport. Your writing for this part should brief and concise.
The second part (Method), you need to do some research on the "Ethnography" method used in research. This should also be brief.
The 3rd part is important and should be much longer in length.
This is where you recall all your findings and state them in numerical order. Please do not include findings that are irrelevant to your research question. The Findings should come from your field notes and journals. These are observations you have made as well as interview you have conducted by having conversations with your respondents. If there are important points said by the respondents, these can appear in this paragraph under narratives. In other word quotes by these people.
This paragraph should be around 400 words.
4) WHAT IT MEANS / DISCUSSIONS and ANALYSIS
All the 3 words above mean the same thing. What you need to do for this paragraph, is to take the FINDINGS discuss above and explain how these findings have or have not answered your Research Question. This should be supported by the literature from your LITERATURE REVIEW. At this stage you should not use literature not found in your literature review.
This paragraph should be around 350 words
5) CONCLUSION
This paragraph should be a summary of paragraphs 1, 3 and 4. You need to reiterate how successful your research was and how your findings have answered the research question.
Please do not write a "Recommendation" Paragraph. That is not asked for.
