Seniors: Assembling the First Draft of Your Project

In the first stage of your Own Town research project, you composed a

schematic that describes your own particular vision of the relationships among three theories. In this second stage, you'll build the first draft of your project.


Here's the overview of what your project should look like.


Slide 1: title
Slide 2: diagram
Slide 3: PEPI theory one
Slide 4: PEPI theory two
Slide 5: PEPI theory three
Slide 6: Synthesis slide


Details about each slide:


The title slide is the argument, or main persuasive idea, of your overall project. Titles in the academic world have two parts. Here are example titles:
New vocabularies in film semiotics: Structuralism, post-structuralism, and beyond
A critical discourse analysis of family literacy practices: Power in and out of print

The diagram slide should be composed primarily of images/ visuals/ schematics. The print should only comprised of keywords.

The three PEPI slides should delineate the particular theories upon which you have decided. Each of these theories connects to your particular area of interest. These are the slides in which your unique voice should shine through.

The synthesis slide draws together the most important information from your five previous slides. It captures the essence, totality, and significance of the messages that you have targeted.
