HW 1 for Unit 3 — Due Tonight Monday 11/18
Proposal for Genre Project. POST on OpenLab. Write a proposal of at least 200 words outlining what you plan to do for Unit 3. Post to website. You must have your proposal approved by me.
- Use the Title: Project Proposal — Your Name
- Category: Project Proposal
- Then comment on two peer posts.
This proposal should explain:
- What your Research Question is.
- Your Message: A 1-2 sentence statement of what you want to teach your audience (the most important thing you learned in Unit 2). This should come out of your Unit 2 Research but should not be a summary of your research. Remember you already did that in Unit 2.
- The audience you are targeting or trying to reach. Get as specific as you can here. Everyone is not an audience!
- The genre you are considering and why you chose it. If you are trying to decide between 2 genres, you can say what those two are — and why each one night work for your project.
- A plan — how do you intend to get started?
- Anything you might be worried about. What are your concerns about finishing this project?
- What mentor text you will be using? Choose a mentor text from inside the Unit 3 Genre Project Assignment. (NOTE: The mentor text is NOT a student example.) In the Unit 3 Assignment — Go to the Option for the Genre you are choosing and see the list of Mentor Texts. Choose one.
NOTICE THAT I CREATED A PAGE called Genre Project Resources. There you will find resources for working with elements of video, audio, music, visuals, and others. You will also find genre project examples from previous students.
