letter of inquiry stuff

What research questions guide your study?
Why is this question important to ask?
How did this text come to look the way that it does?
Why does the text achieve some goals & not others?
How could the text be improved?

These are the types of questions that would be the start of your specific questions.

What Prior talks about:
Initiating text: prompts the writer to compose another text
example: assignment descriptions
* this gets interpreted by the writer
* gets negotiated

How can we discover the answers towards the initiating text?
Interpreting:
Text- assignment, description, what goals were set/what purpose was established, words that give emphasis
Interviewing - stimulated elicitation interviewing "prop",
Negotiate:
Text: peer review questions, focus us on the specific moves the writer should try to make, teaching notes
