  • Based on the research and thinking you’ve done about your topic, what is the story that needs to be told about your topic?
    • Title
    • One-two sentence overview
  • Show (don’t tell) how the pieces fit together (or not).
    • Represent the key information you discovered and explain its relevance to your project overall
      • Photos, video, quotations, or links along with your interpretations
    • Consider:
      • How does the background information help us to understand the story? The current events?
      • What issues and ideas does the story introduce?
      • How has the issue evolved over time?
      • What are the current events and controversies, why do they exist, and what are some of the perspectives and solutions?
  • What do you think of the issue at this point? This is your blog and your have been working with this issue for several weeks – spend time exploring and articulating your opinion about what it means, why it is an issue, and what should be done.
  • How does this topic fit into the growing definition of “what it means to be an American” we’ve been exploring in this class?
