I am working on organizing my thoughts but it's not working so well. I tried to map it out but I only got as far as one ring out from the main idea. Then I did a KWL chart. That helped some. It's not such a linear topic for me. I tried out a couple of the search tools on Annette's site, but I am a litle worried by how much trouble it is to find information on this via regular search tools. I hope I have more luck when I start looking in more academic places.
I've also been listening to recordings of cowboy and cowgirl music, and a new question occured to me: How do I know if real cowboys and girls really did yodel? For all I know, with the information I have right now, it's just the Hollywood cowhands who yodel. I think that answering that question may be the place to start. I am working hard at following the steps but I am antsy to get to the Wiggling part.
My plan is to begin looking at the University databases for information on whether or not real cowpunchers yodel(ed).

I know what you mean. I'm having a difficult time with graphic organizers. I start something and realize I can't finish it. The last one I did started out as a neat web and ended up a messy list with arrows all over the page trying to connect my ideas and thoughts. Webbing is definitely frustrating for me.
Yodeling is really a neat topic. Have fun with it!

It's is interesting to me that here, well into the project, I came upon a new question that is really rather important. It is the question of whether or not real cowboys yodeled at all. A lot of the models I like the best talk about this. Callison's Free Inquiry Model (p. 53 of our text) is one example where the generation of new questions during the inquiry process is mentioned.
