Pre-Writing: Unit 2 Projects

Partner up and read / listen to the following documents:

• The current draft of your partner’s Feeder 2.2 podcast
• Answers to the 3 homework questions that were due today
• The Unit 2 Project assignment

Next, collaborate with your partner on a provisional outline for his or her Unit 2 Project. This outline should contain at least three sections: an introduction that grabs your listener’s attention and introduces your topic; an analysis of the data that you gathered over spring break; a reformulation of your hypothesis in light of the new data and/or an indication of what kind of future research might productively explore the topic further.

For the latter two sections, highlight the central claim that you are making in each and work to ensure that the evidence you present will adequately convince the reader of those claims. In addition, try to brainstorm ways in which you might add variety to the podcast by employing different speakers / voices, sound effects, music, and other effects you have learned about working on your Feeder 2.2 podcasts. Add these ideas to the outline and explain briefly how they would make the podcast’s content clearer and more interesting.
