Zach
From HISP305
Circulos de lectores/comentaristas
First week's meeting:
Topic: La lutería
Will focus on the creation of a guitar, the development of vocabulary involved in the making of guitars, in order to be able to talk with Daniel (in Lima) who is a luthier.
For next week:
Find other luthiers who speak Spanish (in blogs, web pages, articles)
Develop commenters
post pictures and get feed back from Daniel
April 17:
Zach has written Daniel.
Found name and email address of person who wrote for Guitar Magazine and will follow up.
Also did a quick blog search for "luteria" and found blogs!
Discussed how to write a message to someone so that they are enticed to come and be a part of your study:
--show interest in their work --compliment their work --ask if they could look at your work (blog) --ask if they would be interested in being interviewed/interested in helping with the project
April 27:
Discussed a long response that Zach received from Daniel in Lima...Barbara suggested that Zach ask his "círculo" to help him decipher it and perhaps use that info to ask deeper questions.
Barbara contacted by a luthier (whose blog I visited) and he will come and comment (email cc'd to Zach)
