When listening to and reading the online materials for next week, I’d like you to especially examine the way these authors are putting things together in a pattern. How are the three (very) different stories in This American Life put together around a single theme, for example? How is the Folksongs project putting various sounds together to make a pattern?

You will want to start thinking about the question of patterns for your own project. How can you put together different pieces of research and writing in order to find patterns in the “junk” you’ve collected?
