This project is about writing yourself into a relationship with a text and then seeing who has similar or different ideas about the text.

Begin by writing a few pages about your relation to one of the texts that we have read or watched so far this term. Spend some time exploring why you like or resonate with certain elements of the text. Write yourself into some unexplored areas of relation between you and the text.

Once you’ve explored (and you should learn through your own writing; you should not know all of your questions prior to the writing) your relation to the text, consider what you’d like to discuss with others (which is the real beginning of research). Do you want to create a survey or an interview to start the conversation? Do you want to “talk” to others who have published on the area you’d like to discuss? Further your conversation in these ways. Then “talk” to other more, via survey, interview, or library search.

Your final product should be somewhere around 5 pages of text (not including any works cited page) and should use either APA or MLA format (your choice based on what style if would be most useful for you to practice).

So write—talk—write. Sort of like what we’ve been doing already in class.
