Week 9 (March 29 – April 4)

Quick checklist:

  1. Do final draft of Essay 2 , and submit to me via email. (Wait until I’ve put comments on your rough draft before submitting–I’ll do my best to get that done by Tuesday.)
  2. Read info about argument: Argument; Basics of argument, and Types of argument.
  3. Proposal for research argument and photo essay.

==============================================

Proposal for Essays 3 and 4, to be posted on your blog by Sunday night (April 4).

Please post on your blog a proposal that indicates what research question you plan to take on. This should be an arguable issue (a question that people are debating, a problem that needs a solution, a trend or phenomenon about which you could make a claim about causes or effects). Your proposal should also include the following: why you’re interested in this question and (briefly) what you know about it already; where you plan to look for information; what sort of a photo essay might connect to this issue. If you’re torn between two (or more) questions, post them both, and I’ll give some feedback, or if you don’t know how to adapt for a photo essay, please mention that as well and I’ll try to come up with something. (Not all arguable issues will easily lend themselves to photo essays.)
