Structure a Case Study
- how information is organised
- how argument is made to flow
- how point of view is emphasised
- beginning, middle and end
- must structure synopsis before writing it
- work out where research analysis fits in
- structure 'which is best for what chapter
Basic Structure
- Introduction
- Main Body:
- discussion
- creating an argument
- links
- Conclusion
Introduction
- definition
- where are questions asked
- parameters and intentions
Main Body
- simply stating information is pointless
- should be used to authenticate and support discussion
- description
- comment
- analyse
Creating an Argument
- taking position or an issue, proposing point of view
- will provide evidence to substantiate position taken (quotes)
- differs from state of opinion (I like ...)
- cautious in creating argument
- balance point of views - counter argument
- avoid biased statements, rants, unqualified comment
- beware of the 'so what' effect - I think, etc
- Unqualified = pulling evidence from the air - generalising
- allowed to use questions but must be answered
- comment and analysis must come together
Conclusion
- summarise
- round off argument
- no new evidence
- rewind reader of aims and questions
- connect discussion with larger picture
To think about soon
- start to structure research into relevant chapters
- leave plenty of time to re-read and refine work
