READING WRITING Selecting, organizing, synthesizing

How reading leads to writing 1. Read for general understanding (light reading) 2. Read relevant parts for deep understanding (deep reading) 3. Locate and mark parts useful to current project 4. Locate and mark parts necessary to a current writing task

General Understanding • Problem Statement • Research Question/Statement • Method • Outcomes • Conclusion Do this for “Nature, Race, and Parks” (focus on parks rather than geographers!)

Problem Statement RQ A B C C RQ • Parks built with social agendas • Unequal use of parks by different groups of people • Thus usefulness of parks in achieving goals is questionable • And designers need to pay attention to actual use of existing park spaces • What is the relationship between physical and social elements of park as related to use by different racial, ethnic, and cultural groups?

Method/Outcome/Conclusion • Review Paper: method is analysis + synthesis of existing literature • With respect to a particular point of view • E. g. “examination of published literature with respect to ethnic, racial, and cultural differences in users of the park” Built environment • Outcome –Figure 1 • Conclusion: Research attention needs to be allocated to race, Park Use Race/Ethnicity ethnicity, and culture of park users as related to the BUILT ENVIRONMENT in the context of socio-culturally -environmentally sensitive design goals

Deep Understanding/Useful Parts • Mark text for any portions you find particularly important • Sections or paragraphs you find very informative • Sections or paragraphs you will probably come back to • Mark parts of text useful to current project/s • Hint: look at figure 1 – how might this figure contribute to the case study? Do this – share with neighbor

Mark parts useful for writing tasks • What are your current writing tasks? • Literature review! Locate definitions/explanations/examples of … • Urban • Park • Ethnicity Do this – share with neighbor • Cultural • Racial • For Friday, bring marked text to class so we can begin the process of synthesizing!
