Reminder on Proposals

Remember that your group project proposals are due this coming Monday. Each group must submit one proposal, and each proposal should include:

• Names of the participants


• Project title


• Description of the project (the issue or thing you will examine, and why it is relevant)


• Description of the product (the format you will use, such as a written paper, group weblog, etc. and why you chose that format)


• Statement of each participant's individual contribution (what each person will be responsible for in the project)


• List of material consulted so far, and a statement about what resources you think you might consider as your work progresses

The proposal may be turned in on paper or posted to a weblog, but be sure to let me know where it is if you choose the latter. If you have questions about anything related to the project, please ask me.
