Warm Up

Think about the research you have done through your Discovery Logs. Choose a topic you have researched and spend the next few minutes using writing to demonstrate what you have learned about the topic and what you are interested in learning about the topic. Try not to refer back to your Discovery Logs for this - what do you remember about the topic?

​

Working and Workshopping

Have you finished your Peer Reviews from Monday?

​

Research Proposal Template - Begin working on your Research Proposal for the second half of the semester, which will guide your future Discovery Logs and the development of your Intersections: Situations and Genres project.

While you work (or workshop other work with your peers), I will speak with you one-on-one and in your groups about the research you have done so far and how you can use that research to guide your future work in our class.
