Week 5 (The Task)

So far this researching is going great. I am getting a lot of research done. Last Friday I went home and got a lot of information done. I went to the field site early before the game, so I could spend more time with the dance team. I got to watch them do their make-up to get ready, and sit it on the before game practice as well. I then went to the game with them and watched them perform. After they performed I stayed with them till the end of the game and spent more time with them. I think to finish up my mini-ethnography I am going to give them a survey type of questionnaire to fill out to gather some more information. I also need to still go to the library to collect some more broader information about dance teams in general. I need to specifically research a little bit more about their new rituals. I noticed a few while I was there. I am planning on visiting the field site again shortly also. They have a major ritual at the end of each season called their "senior dance" which I will definitely be there for. I am going to be conducting most of the interviews that night and maybe one or two over the computer. So to finish the assignment, I am going to be going to the field site again, and finish up the interviews, and conduct the survey. As of right now I don't have any questions about the assignment. Everything is pretty well explained on the class site.
