I’m working on a english question and need guidance to help me learn.
A prospectus is a formulation of your initial thinking for your essay topic. This assignment gets you to narrow your project focus by articulating the research question you want to pursue for our larger out-of-class essay project for the course. It also helps you consider what you’ll try to cover as you analyze the content for Essay 3. You can discuss what you need to research and why your topic focus is worth pursuing.
You’ll need to develop a topic that is narrow, focused, worth exploration, interesting to you, and driven by your genuine curiosity and critical thinking.
As you discuss your proposed topic, include as much detail as you can, at this juncture. Essentially, this is your pitch to your “editor.” You’ll need to describe the focus of the project, why your readers will be interested in it, and how you plan to conduct the research.
- What is your guiding question to prompt your research/fieldwork?
- How will you focus your research? What are the ideas/topics on which you will focus?
- What kinds of sources do you think you might look for as your project begins?
- What is at stake in exploring this idea/focus? What is the intended outcome for this argument?
