Proposal

What is the topic you will convince others to
care about?
Remember, it needs to be a serious topic
that is fit for an academic setting.
Consider the articles you picked for your
homework assignments last 9 weeks.
Consider also what issues matter to you.
The topic I will convince others to care about,
is to actually say Happy Birthday when it is
one’s birthday. Instead, of just saying Happy
Birthday to people on Facebook or Instagram,
sending people intimate messages is more
important.

Why did you chose this topic? I chose this topic, because I personally feel
It is insufficient to say that you didn’t this is actually a meaningful topic that others
know what else to pick or that you just should care more about.
picked it for no reason.

What personal connection do you have to this A personal connection I have to this topic is
topic? OR Why does this topic matter,
personally, to you?
What Self-Chosen components will you
choose?
WHY did you pick these components?
HOW do you plan to keep yourself up to date
with due dates and work outside of class?
DO NOT say that you’ll just remember.
You MUST come up with a plan to help
you stay on top of this work. Consider
creating reminders for yourself on your
phone, or keeping a calendar in your
backpack.
that whenever it is my birthday I love it when
people send me long paragraphs, instead of
just saying something small and posting a
picture online.
I will be doing a group podcast with 2 other
people and we would have a discussion on
this topic.
Infographic.
Slam Poem.
I chose to do a podcast, because I think it
would be really interesting to hear people
talking about this topic.
I chose to do a infographic, because It would
be cool to put the information as a visual for
others to see.
I also chose to do a slam poem, because I
can envision the poem being this really sick
and passionate poem.
I plan to put reminders on my phone, so that
way I won’t forget.
