How comfortable is the sound of fire cracking? How soothing is writing and listening to fire cracking? The rationale was to ask the students to reflect on the process of composing Ch.2 (Results and Discussion): how did you establish rapport with the informants? What were your expectations before Ch.2/interviews? How did this chapter make you feel about the research position? How language is important to reveal your interviewee's voice?

The point was not to just type it in, but rather to slowly write on a colored piece of paper. I wanted them to physically feel the moment of reflection. Another rationale was to make them feel cosy after a long Thanksgiving break.
