Writer's Notebook: Listen to (or read) this NPR StoryCorps broadcast ("In a Steel Town"). Then write for 10 minutes answering some or all of these questions: What is your motive for going to college? Do you feel that you're just expected to go? Do you feel that you personally want to go or don't want to go? If you're not excited about starting college, what would you rather do? If you're going to college, do you know what you want to study? Do you feel you need to know? (PS--Robyn's Thoreau freewrite got me thinking about this.)
Proposing a Field Research Project: In the Writing Lab, finish the first draft of your "proposal" to me. Read/refer to A&B, pp. 245-51. Print and turn this in today.
Homework: Read the beginning of Chapter 10, pp. 239-51. Note that after your "proposal" is accepted and after your "field research" is done, you will write a "Empirical Research Report" using the "Framework" on p. 241. There's a sample paper on pp. 275-282 (about SpongeBob Square Pants).
