Composition Project 2: Writing About Writing – An Exploration
Using exploratory writing and research, you’ll gather and examine your sources, describing what you find while narrating your process in first-person voice (using “I”). Though you may have an idea about the answer to your question, you won’t be sure until you’ve read, analyzed, and synthesized your sources. Even then, you still may not find an answer. That’s okay. Research is a process that doesn’t always lead to a clear answer. Instead, we might find at the end that we have more questions—and sometimes questions can be as fascinating as answers!
In this project, here are important steps to take:
1. Choose a topic. Some possibilities:
Facebook
2. Develop a research question. Narrow it down. Use specific terms. Expect an answer more
Why can I write so much in Facebook, but I struggle to write an academic essay?”
3. Write a proposal.
a. Express your research question.
b. Explain why you’re asking the question.
c. Describe the intended audience for your exploration.
d. Explain in detail a research plan that includes the types of sources you intend to explore, where you expect to find them, and a schedule for the completion of your project.
4. Gather sources and compose an annotated bibliography (4 sources)
a. Sources must include two scholarly sources.
b. And one form of primary research.
c. And one visual (e.g., graph, photo, drawing).
d. You may use additional sources as needed.
e. Completing the annotated bibliography, in which you write short, evaluative summaries for the sources you have gathered, will enhance your criticalattention to citation, evaluation of sources, and explication of source information (see Praxis 220-223).
5. Choose a form for your project and begin composing.
a. Articulate your question and its purpose.
b. Discuss how each source helps you to develop an understanding about your question.
c. Explain how you reached your conclusion.
d. Think about what kind of media would best suit your audience: essay, video, audio, speech, blog? If you decide to produce a product that is not written, accompany your project with a rhetorical analysis that explains your research question and purpose, audience, methods of research, and decision to use media other than written form.
