Group Research Questions
What are you most curious to find out about the Occupy Movement? What are some possible survey questions you could ask members of our community? What kinds of interview questions might you want to ask in order to gain the most helpful responses to this central research question?
Remember:
Start with a topic -> Narrow your topic -> Form a question -> Try and narrow the question if possible

The University of Tennessee: English 102
Taking inspiration from NPR's "This American Life," as well as Class Matters (2006), we present our own creative effort to bring together stories and qualitative research on how the Occupy Wall Street Movement might be seen decades from now. Will history books talk about Occupy Wall Street? If so, how will they portray it? As a mere fad, a revolutionary grassroots effort, or maybe as a political stunt? The 42 students in my two sections of English 102: Inquiry into Grassroots Social Movements at The University of Tennessee will document their research processes. Students will conduct surveys and interviews to find out how a sample of our community views the Occupy Movement. The end product will be a culmination of audio files in the style of "This American Life."
