Preparing for Inquiry

As you consider your topic over the weekend, I hope you find inspiration in the video above (thanks to Beth Wilson for finding and posting this on her blog!). By Sunday evening (no later than midnight), I would like everyone to post their topic proposal on their blogs. It's OK to still be at the "idea" stage and not sure of exact conclusions, this will emerge and come into focus during the research phase, but your proposal should at least indicate some direction(s) you intend to pursue as you move forward. In addition to the proposal, include a list of somewhere between 8-12 questions about your topic that you would be interested in having answered in your research. These questions will help guide your research and begin to prepare you for your interviews. While there are no assigned readings over the weekend (we'll save the second half of "Countering" for later), I encourage you to start investigating your topic and looking for sources to help illuminate your topic.
