How can prompts help structure ethnographic notes?

Prompts can turn messy field notes into structured observations: setting, behaviors, artifacts, quotes, and interpretations. Provide research questions and context. Ask for patterns, contradictions, and researcher bias reflections. Keep raw notes linked for transparency.

In practice

Separate observation from interpretation in the output to avoid conflating them.

1Feed raw notes labeled by session.
2Generate structured summaries with quotes.
3Compare across sessions for themes.
