qualitative research methods.

Please make up a purpose statement (in your professional or scholarly field) that would be appropriate for qualitative research methods. For this exercise, we will borrow in part from Creswell & Creswell (2018) script for qualitative research. You may select a specific approach or a general qualitative study.

You only complete this assignment ONCE (for one methodology) . We will discuss in detail in class. Be prepared to discuss the data you could collect appropriate to your study purpose and method.

The purpose of this _______________(approach: ethnographic, case study, phenomenological, general qualitative, grounded theory, narrative inquiry) study will be to understand/explore/discover/describe how __________________ _____________________________(participants, individuals, groups, organization) ___________________(central phenomenon being studied) at _______________________(research site).
In Addition indicate what types of data will be collected and analyzed for this study (based on the proposed purpose statement). Also add 2-3 sentences indicating WHY you feel this purpose statement and this approach is appropriate for the intent, topic, and data.

Please be aware, this is only a hypothetical exercise– you will not carry it out. The goal is to 1. practice purpose statements; 2. practice picking and supporting specific qualitative approaches based on topic, data, and goals; and 3. practice actual approaches for qualitative research.

Here are examples:
The purpose of this phenomenological study will be to understand how teenagers living in homeless shelters navigate friendships and social interactions in a suburban middle-class high school.

The purpose of this ethnographic study will be to explore how devout Muslim nurses fit into the workplace culture in conservative Catholic hospitals.

The purpose of this case study will be to discover how occupational therapists responded to new responsibilities and protocols when new owners reorganize an occupational therapy clinic.

The purpose of this narrative study will be to explore how members of high school swim teams describe practice, teamwork, and athletic performance on a Facebook group site for high school swimmers.

The purpose of this grounded theory study will be to discover how long-standing tenured professors feel toward university change when forced by administrators to increase teaching loads.
You only need to submit ONE methodology and ONE purpose statement for this assignment. Be sure to include the proposed data and justification for your choice (no more than one short paragraph). Be prepared in class to discuss.

Lysistrata Book

For this assignment, assume that you are a director/producer of a contemporary update of one of our three assigned plays. And in order to further emphasize a message that you think the play conveys to our contemporary world, you are going to rewrite the ending.

This assignment will include two parts:

A description of your changes to the ending (400-600 words)
A short essay that defines an important message conveyed by the play that is relevant in today’s society, discusses the elements of the original that help to convey that message (with analysis of at least one relevant quote), and explains the ways your updated ending helps to emphasize that message. (800-1000 words)
Things to consider for your updated ending:

What elements of the play’s ending are dissatisfying, potentially boring, potentially offensive, or too overly simplified for a contemporary audience, and how could you change them to either further emphasize a message developed in the play that you think is important in today’s world or to challenge society or individuals to be better in some specific way?
What characters can be emphasized or minimized to carry out these goals? How? What would they do differently?
What plot elements can be altered to carry out these goals?
What dialogue changes can be made to carry out these goals? Should important lines be given to another character? Should certain characters’ lines be altered? How?
What choices beyond the script (a particular song, a particular setting, costume, props, etc.) would you add to emphasize the message?
Instructions and suggestions for the Formal portion of the essay:

This part of the assignment will be more like a traditional paper that has a thesis and support (sub-claims, evidence, analysis) for that thesis/argument.
Remember that the paper must define an important message conveyed by the play that is relevant in today’s society, discuss and analyze the elements (specific plot elements, characterization, important dialogue, setting elements, etc.) of the original play that help to convey that message (with analysis of at least one relevant quote), and explain the ways your updated ending helps to emphasize that message.
A successful paper will make it evident that the writer understands the original text well enough to identify its message, analyze the elements of the play that help convey that message, and alter the ending to further emphasize that message for a contemporary audience.
Successful papers will incorporate the writing strategies from these foundational course documents: Writing Literary Interpretation.docxActions and Keys.pdfActions
Less successful papers will reduce the themes/messages to cliches or overly-common notions regarding a given topic.
Obviously, do not plagiarize. Review this document: plagiarism.pdfActions
