Assignment for Monday, 17 November 1997
Begin thinking about your topic for paper #3. WRITE UP a short proposal for your paper, providing
1. your proposed topic
2. your proposed approach (i.e. if it's an ARGUMENT, what are you arguing for/against, and why; if it's to REVEAL/EXPOSE, what are you revealing/exposing and why; etc.)
3. your personal investment in your topic (how does it touch you or involve you? how self-serving is it?)
4. what you think others' investment(s) might be (what does your discussion do for other people? how does/could it help others?)
5. what you think the broader ramifications of your discussion might be (how does/could such a project affect people or society?)
we will have an in-class reading on Monday, focusing on clarity.
