On Paper 2
Mon, 10/01/2007 - 08:09 — aderosa
If we do the same assignment for Paper 2 where we assign them the task of picking a topic, how do we prevent them from choosing the same topics again? Anyway have suggestions on limitations? Paper 1 for me was focused on the Purdue/Lafayette area. Should Paper 2 be national? Right now I'm leaning towards politics.

You can limit the topics by
You can limit the topics by limiting the scope of what they start out with. You can use the ethnography assignment and expand it to a paper, you can use the paper 1 assignment again, or use the evaluating sources assignment and have them work solely on national politics.
You can also build upon the advocacy assignment and have them research a national organization. I think that you can work with any number of ideas, topics, etc. that have either come up in class discussion or in the readings.
