  1. Create a Research Space (CARS)

  2. Warm-up discussion:Entering the Conversation CARS (Swales p. 6-8) Identify an Issue Identify the Situation Frame a Good Question Establish a Territory Establish a Niche Occupy a Niche Greene (p. 10-19)

  3. CARS Model • Create a Research Space • Establishing Territory • Why this topic is interesting now, and what previous researchers have said about it • Establishing a Niche • Finding places were previous research is lacking • Occupying a Niche • How you as the new researcher will fill in the current missing gaps in the research

  4. Establishing a Territory • Claiming Centrality • This is an important topic many people are discussing • Making Topic Generalizations • Making statements about current knowledge in the field • Reviewing Previous Items of Research • What has been said so far, and by whom

  5. Establishing a Niche • Counter-claiming • While Smith says _____, I say _________. • Indicating a Gap • There are still unanswered questions. • Question-raising • Previous research has raised further questions • Continuing a tradition • To verify previous work, more research is needed.

  6. Occupying a Niche • Outlining Purposes • Announcing Present Research • Announcing Principal Findings • Indicating the Structure of the Research Article

  7. Let’s practice! Analyze using the 3 parts of the CARS model: • Group A: • Intro of Mirabelli’sarticle (539-543) • Group B: • Intro of Baron’s article (423-424) • Group C: • Intro of Swales’ article (468-470) • Group D: • Intro of Brandt’s article (332-334)

  8. Mirabelli • Establishing a Territory: • Establishing a Niche: • Occupying a Niche:

  9. Baron • Establishing a Territory: • Establishing a Niche: • Occupying a Niche:

  10. Swales • Establishing a Territory: • Establishing a Niche: • Occupying a Niche:

  11. Brandt • Establishing a Territory: • Establishing a Niche: • Occupying a Niche:

  12. Analyze a Source • Choose one source • analyze the introduction of the source using the 3 parts of the CARS model • This time, make sure to name each “move” the author makes to establish territory, establish a niche, and occupy the niche.
