Tuesday's Work Part II--Drafting Plan of Inquiry

The second half of your work today is to start drafting your plan of inquiry (see the project assignment for full details about what should be in the plan of inquiry). Tomorrow you will complete your plan of inquiry, and we will begin group workshopping of your drafts (so, for those of you who can only work at night, you will need to think about how best you can manage this work--tomorrow we'll talk about identifying possible audiences, purposes, and genres, so if you have to write the whole thing tonight and you have questions about those parts, just send me an email at jcharlton@utpa.edu). Think of the plan of inquiry as just that--a plan or proposal--but to write it, you should have already done some research and reading on your question. And, remember, too, that when I ask you to identify possible claims/purposes, audiences, and genres, I'm just asking for what you're thinking right now. You might very well change your mind as you do more research and reading. We just have so little time in the summer to think through these choices that I want to get your mind rolling as quickly as possible.

Please save your plan of inquiry to your individual google docs folder. I will be creating workshop groups based on similar questions and will create new spaces for each group to share their work with one another to better facilitate the feedback process for the rest of the semester.
