 Writing Assignment: A Spark 

You spend all summer trying to get close to your crush.  You go bowling even though you hate bowling.   You send emails and IM and finally you are out on date, just the 2 of you.  Unfortunately, the  conversation is forced, your date is answering text messages all through dinner, and you just want it to  be over.  Luckily, it will be because you aren’t married. 

At this point, you are not married to your research topic yet either.  You are in the dating stages and if  things are not going well, you can look for a new topic or give this one another chance.  The work you  are doing in this assignment is like dating your topic.  You are seeing if you like it and if there is enough  substance to take this topic all the way.  

Nothing is more frustrating than discovering at the eleventh hour that there is not much information  about your topic, that all the sources say the same thing, or that the topic isn’t as interesting as you  thought.  To avoid these pitfalls, this assignment will give you a little preview of how the project will go  and give your instructor enough information to guide you toward successful discovery.  

1. Complete the chart that presents your overall research question and the series of questions you  will explore in relation to the main question. Add as many additional squares as you like to the  middle levels.  Feel free to complete more than one chart if you are considering more than one  topic or more than one direction in the same topic.
