AssignmentYour assignment is to create a mutli-genre research project that expresses your research and perspective on a person, event, or movement that emodies the American ideal of the pursuit of happiness.
Planning: Take time to plan ideas and structure.• How will you use the research process to be sure you conduct relevant and
sufficient research on your chosen topic?
• What prewriting strategy will help you provide a unifying focus for your exploration of a topic related to the ideal of pursuing happiness?
• What sort of creative ways could you connect your different genres with a metaphor or motif (a place, event, person, movement, season, etc.)?
• Which areas of your topic do you feel ready to address, and which require further insight and perhaps additional research using primary or secondary sources?
Drafting: Combine elements to present your ideas. • How will you sequence your different pieces into a coherent order that helps
to express your ideas?
• How can you make sure that all your elements connect to your thesis?
• How will your reflection show how all your texts help to convey your point of view?
• How can a creative title and a visual that symbolically represents your ideas help to create interest from your audience?
Evaluating and Revising: Make your work the best it can be.• How can you and your peers support each others’ work and provide valuable
feedback? How well does your metaphor or motif transition from one element to the next?
• How can you use the Scoring Guide to help guide your revision?
Checking and Editing: Make sure your work is ready for your audience.• How can you make sure that your project conveys a full message, including a
clear position with supporting evidence?
