Topic Proposals

I realize that the Project #1 assignment does not say anything about Topic Proposals.  Also, a few of you asked me after class.  I just wanted to make sure that everyone was on the same page with the assignment at this point.

For the Topic Proposal that you bring into class on Wednesday, you need to have a paragraph or more that states what topic you would like to approach and your reasoning about approaching that topic.  The chapter 1 introduction in Writing About Writing lays out some potential topics for you, but do not feel limited to those.  You will also want to look at the definition of construct to help you figure out exactly how to approach finding a topic.  You might also want to be aware that your topic could change when you start doing your research, depending on what you find in the conversation you are approaching.

If you have any questions, please let me know.
