Directions: Because a researched argument can be complex, and you will establish an academic question and a topic before you begin exploring the (hopefully) vast amounts of information available to you.
First, choose three topics from your free write.
Second, answer 2.5 on page 34-35 of the LBH and choose 2-3 questions (of your own devising--the questions on 34-35 are to help you develop your questions) to answer for each prospective topic in order to determine an academic question. (Make sure that they are questions that can lead you to a persuasive argument.)
Last, read the LBH 14-16 and answer 1.5 on page 17 of the LBH in order to revise and specify your topic.
Blog post due before 5pm on Friday, July 11th.
Reply to classmate: comment on one of your peers' academic question. Is it broad enough to generate curiosity about the topic? Is it specific enough to narrow down the topic to something that can be written about in 900-1200 words? Please let your classmate know why you think it is a good question, or a question that needs work. If the question needs work, please offer one piece of constructive criticism. Remember the titanium rule!
