will conduct. The questions I will be asking her will be very broad but will allow me to get a
sense of what genres of writing are used in an educational setting. These questions include what
genres are used to communicate with students, what information is mentioned within these
genres, and how does this communication, do you believe, affect their education.
I shall also be conducting another interview with Erin Workman, a PhD student who
teaches Research, Genre, and Context and other composition course at FSU. I will be asking
her the same questions as Teresa Van Ochten. However, I will also include questions about the
specific genres of writing within the context of the English classroom in and how they affect the
students learning of composition and writing. I am interviewing Erin Workman to gain a more
specific perspective on written communication in education. This is will also allow me to see
communication between students and teachers from a teachers perspective, since I am a student
of hers.
If I decide I need more information, I will interview a previous teacher that I had in high
school. This is also another source of subject specific information, since I can contact teachers of
all of the four main subject areas. However, I most specifically plan on interviewing my
Chemistry and AP Environmental Science teacher Heather Legrand through email. The reason
for choosing her is because she represents, in my opinion, the polar opposite of Erin Workmans
field. This will give me a different perspective on written teacher and student communication.
Hopefully with the information I gain from these interviews, I can apply it to my experiences as
a student and the research of others in order to synthesize some plausible answers to my research
question.
Even though I have built upon my research question extensively, it might change slightly
as my research into the topic of written teacher and student communication continues. The two to
three interviews I will conduct could also be a catalyst of change in my research question. Once
these interviews are conducted, a specific subject area might interest me more or even a whole
different field than education might pique my interest.
After conducting my research and writing on the research, I hope to gain information
about education and other fields such as psychology, the natural sciences, and composition. I also
hope that my research will aid me in finalizing a career goal for myself. Even though Im set on
becoming a high school teacher, I have very mixed feelings about what subject I would teach.
With my research into communication between students and teachers, I hope to gain some
insight into certain teaching methods that can help me in deciding on a subject to teach.
