You will also write a reflection piece that answers the following questions in paragraph form:
-
What did you learn about yourself as a writer? As a thinker?
-
What did you learn about the process of writing?
-
What skills did you develop that might help you in the future?

What did you take from the larger conversation with others?

How did your feedback from peers and your instructor affect the revision of your blueprint, letter to the editor, and presentation?
Remember:
-
You are writing a paper that makes an argument. Its goal is to persuade others of the value of your Big Idea.
-
You are using outside research to support this argument, but your paper and presentation should focus on your own ideas and use your own analysis of this outside research to make the argument.

The length requirement of 5-7 pages is just for the essay component of the assignment. That length does not include the title and references page.
