Topic, Thesis, and Proposal

For this assignment, you will write your topic and thesis as separate sentences. Please double space For example (from my own work):

Topic: The linkage of Hip Hop and marching ensembles, in culture and practice, in the African American South.

Thesis: I contend that African American Hip Hop and marching band musicians don’t exist in isolation of each other in the South, but rather engage in constant musical dialogue because of the presence and influence of Historically Black College and University bands in their immediate vicinity, and in black popular culture in general.

Then, write a few sentences previewing your arguments. This portion is your proposal.

The key to this assignment is to be clear and concise. If you find yourself having trouble it's ok, but ask for help early. If you submit early, and would like to resubmit after revising, you may do so. Look to number 1,3, and 4 on this document for guidance.
