In regards to how I plan on constructing my mini-ethnography, I am going to divide it into sections seperated with titles. Some of those times mayt include but are not limited to: Being a Swimmer/Diver, Being a Coach, Being an Aqutics Director, Being a Lifeguard, Being an Official, etc. Obviously you can tell that a theme I am going to use is making my reader feel as though they are in a specific position. The only way to incorporate the many different aspects of the industy as well as my interviews, experiences, and stories is to divide my paper into sections dedicated to certain positions based on the point of veiw of that position.
In regards to starting and ending my paper, I will begin introducing my subculture as well as the way I plan to present it so my reader won't be lost when they begin to read the first subheading. I am not going to write my introduction now because that would be an extreme waste of time...sorry. Same goes for my conclusion. I will tie eveything together just like all conclusions as suppose to do whilemaking some closing remarks on my subculture that will be benifical to the readers further interpretations.
Really I don't plan ahead. This is all subject to change as soon as I sit down to write my paper. Everything depends on the moment I write. Otherwise its too dry and not creative. The information get processed so much that it ends up being further from the truth than if I would have just lied from the beginning. You can tell writers that do too much planning, because their papers are like textbooks and the reader is practically in a coma by the third paragraph. Writing papers inpropto allows the words to convey more feels and emotion that something that has been copied and pasted from a blog month ahead of time.
