What outside materials might you use (websites, reference books, etc.)?

This project has a single purpose: (1) the selection of your location for your field site for your ethnography. This field project is worth 10% of your grade.

Read the instructions for the field research project so you are familiar with what is required of you and what the final assignment is. This assignment is to help you to get going, to get you to find the location for your study.
You are required to complete a one-page description of your field site. This description gives the instructor an idea of what type of project you have chosen, where you will be observing, and why you chose the particular site. It will allow the instructor to work with students who are having trouble locating a site, or who may need to adjust their research project (note: While this by itself is not graded, non-compliance will have an effect on your final ethnographic paper). . In the Field Site Description you need to answer the following questions:

1) Where is your field? What is the topic of your ethnographic research? Why did you choose that topic?
2) How will you complete the participant observation portion? Is it easy for you to access the field site? Will language be an issue? What are the dates and times that you will visit your field site?
3) Do you have an informant? Who might you interview? Who can you get insider information from?
4) What outside materials might you use (websites, reference books, etc.)?
In addition to assist you in this ethnographic project, several articles and lectures are posted in the course materials section about doing ethnography and writing ethnographic reports. Please read and view them as you will find them to be very helpful.
