Example Project 2

An Ethnography project needs to have the following sections:

Discussion
Methodology
Conclusion
Introduction
Results

Can you label the following sections from an ethnography project and put them in the most logical order.

In what way is the ‘discussion section’ different from the ‘results section’?
