Research!
In class today, we were introduced to the problem/proposal paper. We did the following in class:
* Looked at current Colorado legislation at this web sites:
* Found a piece of legislation from the 2013 session that we found interesting.
* Visited news.google.com to find what the popular media had to say on the topic.
* Engaged in freewriting for 7 minutes on everything we know -- up to that point -- about the legislation.
* Engaged in academic research on the topic, such as: mandatory sentencing, wildfire mitigation, homeless discrimination, homeschool law, etc.
* * * *
YOUR HOMEWORK:
* Read three academic articles on your topic.
* Write and post a rhetorical precis for each article on your topic.
NOTE: You will need 4 academic resources for your paper + the legislation. You are welcome to include additional popular research to support your paper. These means 4 academic articles + 1 piece of legislation + whatever popular research supports your topic = your total research for this paper.
REMEMBER your task is to demonstrate that you understand the current conversations -- including academic conversations -- about your topic.
