To prepare for sections this week, please engage in some preliminary research into your theme and bring some ideas for discussion. In your section, you will meet in your theme group and engage in research and brainstorming into a possible focus for the entry you will write.
- Meet with your group in section to brainstorm and research ideas by reflecting on what might be relevant within the broader theme or field you have been assigned.
- Share contacts, so you can set up a group list so that you can communicate together and share resources over the next week and decide which individual research entries each of you will examine.
- You will then need to research and explore possibilities within the theme you have been assigned, share the results with each other, and finally decide which focus each of you is going to pursue independently.
Try to locate a revealing and dynamic focus that embodies and represents a larger problem in a specific instance. Think of a variety of creative ways to distinguish your focus based on a question you have about Roe v. Wade and its relevance. There may be later foci that you can select for research; however, it is crucial that you connect the significance of your site to the issues about Roe v. Wade that it raises, extends, and explores. More guidelines will be shared in next week.
Once you have decided on your possible focus, you will have to make sure that you are not duplicating another student’s topic, so make sure that you have an alternative.
You will have to post the title and subject of your individual focus for inquiry to this document by Saturday, April 8 at 5:00pm.
It is possible to select a unique site outside of these categories so long as it does not duplicate another classmate’s choice and serves as an illustrative site of inquiry into the significance of Roe v. Wade, its impacts, and how it has been remembered and challenged.
