• Review the chapters in the Saldaña text.
• Review the Introduction to Coding and From Content to Coding media programs in the Learning Resources.
• Refer back to your observational field notes from Weeks 1–4 Scholars of Change videos
• From the remaining videos, choose a different Scholars of Change video and refer to your notes from your observation for this paper.
• Access the transcript you downloaded for the media program of the Scholars of Change video you selected for this paper.
• Begin to code the transcript and the observational field notes of the Scholar of Change video you chose. (Note: You will only need one or two codes for this paper, although more are acceptable.)
Write a 2page paper
write a brief description of the video you chose. Next, include an example of one or two codes and provide quotes from your notes or transcript to support your example. Finally, explain your reasoning for this coding.
