Writing, the next frontier (assignment)

Most of you have posted (somewhere) your ideas about writing for this semester. Those who have not ought to do so real soon now, right here!

For next Monday, via email to newb@beloit.edu or by some other clever means, I'd like to see a more detailed proposal for at least the first half of the course. Your proposal -- which will count toward your total writing requirement (so don't skimp on words or thoughts) -- should include a concise statement of your intent, boiled down some from what you first offered; a statement of the media you plan to use (pen, paper, word processor, blog, twitter, email, EverNote, whatever and why you have chosen this medium; a means for self-evaluation and my evaluation of your performance on this assignment; and a schedule that intend to follow. Remember that the general course guidelines call for around ten pages of writing for each half of the course, with some demonstration of editing/reflection/revision. Your writing can take many forms: I encourage you to look at what your classmates have put up as preliminary plans to see if there are opportunities for sharing and/or collaboration.
