ENG 202 - Grouping Sources

As you begin to find and identify sources, you will want to categorize them in terms of type and conversation, which requires some modest analysis. The aim is to get a view of both what kinds of sources and conversations you have found and what you have not. The questions / categories that follow may help you in this sorting.

Example

Group Name: Fast-Food Insiders
Class of Participants: Industry insiders (ex. marketers, franchise owners, and investors)
Type/ Forum / Genre: Trade-group websites and publications designed for those directly involved in fast-food as a business, with a promotional perspective.
Relevant to these mini-R.Q.s: What is the growth potential for the industry? What challenges and opportunities face it in the next five years? How are consumer preferences being managed? What controllable and uncontrollable factors (health news and concerns, customer budgets, etc.) are on the horizon?
Limits: Orientation towards growth, expansion, and minimizing of negative prospects. No possibility for reflecting on whether F.F. is a good thing. Some emphasis on cheerleading and manipulation.
