Proposal for Multi-genre project Due
Friday May 1, 2015
The purpose
of this proposal is to explain and defend the topic you are choosing for your
multi-genre project. In a few paragraphs, you will need to clearly explain what
your topic is and why you have chosen it. You also need to include how you plan
to complete your research. Consider what the possible research pieces you will
be using? What kind of research will you need to do to complete the assignment?
In addition, you will need to include two of the genres you plan to use. These
don’t have to be final, but they can give me some insight into how to help direct
you. I challenge you to NOT just choose the genres that you think will be
easiest. If you choose a birth certificate because it seems easy, you are
missing the point of the assignment. Defend your genres as to WHY they support
the research behind your topic. Remember, this is the culminating assignment
for the class. Show me what you have
learned as a writer. Take some risks and do your best!

Requirements
|
|
You
need to decide on a theme or idea that runs through all of your
genres. This theme should be
important to you, something that you already know something about, but
could also learn more.
The
theme should be an idea you want to express about a specific topic and how
it relates to others, to society.
For
example, if my topic was why I became a teacher, my theme might be
something about how important it is to do something you’re passionate
about.
