How to write a rationale

In the rationale, you want to write about FIVE sentences explaining why
you chose the subject you are researching. Give at least TWO different
reasons.

One possibility is to explain that the class/ teacher chose to write about
Movers and Shakers in the Twentieth Century. You chose to write about
__________ because s/he contributed _________ to the world and
made it a better place. Then continue to explain how they changed the
world for the better.

Another possibility is telling about how you relate to ____________ on a

personal level. Maybe s/he was a doctor and you want to be a doctor, too.
Therefore, the world of medicine really interests you.
