1. Directions for Idea Proposal: Write a 1-2 page, double spaced proposal explaining the form into which you will translate your argument. Considering that form often follows function, why is the form that you chose the most effective media for conveying your argument?
The Function: Since form generally follows function, begin by explaining the function, the purpose, of your translation. Do not just say that the function is to argue your point of view or to convince us that something is true. Who is your intended audience? Imagine that you are doing this project in real life. Develop a realistic scenario. (Do not say your audience is the class. This is a real project that you will publish online.) In what ways will you shape your media and translation choices to best reach your audience?
Audiences to consider: future employer; admissions committee for graduate school / a fellowship / an internship; judges at a research conference; students at a high school, the president of the university or another organization, etc. These are just a few examples.
The Form: Describe the form into which you could most effectively translate your unit 3 paper. Explain why the form is most effective for translating your argument. Then, explain how you would translate your elements of argument (main claim, reasons, evidence, counter arguments) within the bounds and limitations of this form. You are translating your elements of argument, but you won’t be able to include all your evidence, so what will you include in this project? What will your finished product look like?
The Final Product: What will be the challenges and limitations in your project? What do you worry about? What concerns do you have? What will be most difficult as you begin and move through this project? How long do you think it will take you to complete the final product? Since you have limited time to complete this project, how will you budget your time, specifically?
Examples of Media for Translation of Argument: In order to write your proposal you must choose a form of media into which you will translate your argument. You may translate your argument into pretty much any form—except a plain ole’ PowerPoint or Prezi.☺
