Unit 3 Proposal

In unit 2, I researched about the Great Depression. I specifically looked for the causes of the Great Depression as well as the hardships people faced during that time. Originally, I wanted to target economists, however I changed my mind now and I want to write directly to people who are investing or people who are just interested in financial related stuff. I hope to teach people on saving money and being cautious when investing your money. I am planning on writing my topic in a Twitter thread because of how clean and organized it looks. Additionally, many people use Twitter so I feel like my message will be shared around. My first step is to gather all the information needed to make a Twitter thread. My only concern not knowing how long the thread should be to receive full credits

For unit 3, the topic that i recently choose was about illegal immigrants and why people are so against them. I choose this topic because i was interested in towards why people are against immigrants and want to deport them. Another reason i choose this topic because i myself am a child of illegal parents and have questions about why people are anti immigration. The audience i am planning on targeting is the people that do not have knowledge towards the topic of immigration. Another audience i hope i target is the people who relate with my topic such as The people who are immigrants themselves or are parents of illegal immigrants.  I want to target these specific audiences because i think its important for people to be more informed about the history of immigration and why it existed in the first place. People who are associated to this topic need to be informed about this because its important for them to know what is going on in todays world and how it can affect them. Some concerns i have about this project is if my topic will make sense and be organized and well explained.

In general, these are things worth avoiding in your writing, though some conventions may vary, as Stedman himself points out, from genre to genre.  Please respond to the following after reading Stedman’s article:

(150 words) Write a paragraph for your intended audience for Unit 3 using one of your “quotables” from Unit 2 in that paragraph. Keep Stedman’s guidelines in mind while writing this paragraph. Be kind to your audience! Try not to lose them by the side of the road!
