The first thing we discussed was changing our question to focus on language features in a children's program rather than CDS. From previous advice and comments from Alison we realised that we needed to tighten up our project a bit as it was getting confusing, so we decided to modify our question instead of completely changing the data we had planned.
We also wanted to tighten up our research data, by making sure we have a time frame - we want to be able to make a comparison between nineties and noughties programs and so we will be looking at data from every 5 years. So while we have decided to keep our chosen programs, the period from which we take each episode isn't as random. This now means we will taking episodes from the following periods:
Winnie the Pooh - 1990
Sooty and Sweep - 1995
Rosie and Jim - 2000
Peppa Pig - 2005
In the night garden - 2010
Now we are looking at language features, we will need to edit our reading list to lose some of the readings on child directed speech. To get this done we have decided to increase our meetings to twice a week in order to pick up the pace of this project.Our next meeting is monday at 4pm and we have arranged a meeting with Alison on tuesday as well.
