By this point of the field working project, it's all about organization of ideas. It is quite possible that it may take quite a few combos of ideas before things begin to stick. The important thing is to keep everything relevant to the project and be able to draw or create a conclusion as to what the field offers. It's important to highlight the most important things in all of your fieldwork that you are positive you're using and keep on adding to them. Sometimes it can also be a good idea to physically move the sheets of paper with info around to create better organization if you're having trouble.
The current stage of the field working project is all about revision. This is where you take an idea you had a take it a further step and run with it. It's a strong idea to look at the good points of your project and not look for errors, they will present themselves if studied enough. Some things will also have to be cut out of your final project because not everything is necessary.
For my field work project, I have taken the last few days attempting to organize all my information. I expected this to be much easier than it was and it has caused a bit of tension on myself trying to put the pieces in order. I also feel that I have made each of my original essay's much more crisp after a second revision.
Leeman, I completely agree with what you have to say about our final paper. Organization is gonna be a huge part of this paper. If all the elements are not properly organized your paper might not tie together in the end to draw a great conclusion. I also agree that while revising we should not be looking for errors because they will show themselves. Lastly, I agree that this final step to our project is not nearly as easy as I thought it was going to be.
