Project Plan/Rationale

Rationale This assignment is designed to get you thinking about your final project well in advance of its due date. Because the final assignment relies so heavily on engagement with active conversations in social media, it is essential to become familiar with them now. This assignment gives you the opportunity to devise a strategy well beforehand that can be adapted later on. Invention The invention phase of this assignment is primarily driven by the research questions/thesis you developed in your project proposal, with the addition of some online investigation. You should be concerned primarily with three areas: 1) What is your overall plan? In relatively general terms, please describe how you will approach joining these conversations and your rationale—why do you think this is the most appropriate approach? 2) In specific terms, provide a listing of possible social media (and read “social media” broadly to include as many avenues as possible) with which you will engage and how (i.e. fake profiles, etc.). 3) What research do you currently have that will be the most persuasive in these venues and why. Composition This format of this paper is entirely up to you as long as you address the three concerns listed above specifically. Essay format, bulleted lists, or however you find easiest to organize your thoughts. Evaluation: This assignment will be evaluated based on: 1) The extent to which the three concerns listed above are addressed, 2) the explanation of your rationales, and 3) grammatical/mechanical correctness and clarity. Requirements: Double or Single Spaced Times New Roman, 12-point font MLA or APA formatting
