Welcome back!

We only have three weeks left this semester, so please be sure to stay focused and pass in all your assignments. Every assignment counts!

We worked on our historical significance proposal projects today in the library. We will be working on these again tomorrow in the computer lab.  Please use this time wisely, otherwise you will find that you have a lot of work to do at home.  This proposal is due on Monday, Jan. 7th and will be submitted via turnitin.com

I will not accept a paper copy of this assignment. You may only submit it via www.turnitin.com

As mentioned in class, I will not accept any technological "excuses". If you are having trouble submitting, please come see me on Monday and we will get it submitted at lunch.

Historical Significance Research Assignment

Historical Significance Research Assignment

The writings of Lucy Maud Montgomery have been significant for the Island’s identity and economy. Think of other contributions to Island culture such as other people, buildings, artifacts, or events.

Select one cultural contribution that you feel has been particularly significant to Island life and present a case for it to be recognized in a special ceremony, festival, or holiday.  Think about how you would recognize this person(s), building, artifact, event, etc.  (activities, events, music, food, etc.)

Please research your topic  and organize your findings before writing your proposal (note-taking is a must).

ü  All proposals must use Chicago Style documentation.

ü  Please refer to:

https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/717/01/  

ü  I expect a footnote after EVERY thought or idea that is not your own (you will definitely have footnotes when you are writing your background information on your topic).

ü  You must include a properly formatted bibliography or notes page with your proposal.

ü  Please write your thoughts/findings in a proposal which will be submitted on www.turnitin.com

 

Project Proposal Format

All proposals have two communicative objectives: they must describe what you are planning to do, and they must convey why this is a reasonable, important, and interesting plan.  In proposing your project, your overall goal should be to provide a persuasive argument for the project’s implementation. Please provide enough details to allow your audience to understand the importance of your proposed plan.
