1. Title and subtitle (try for something descriptive and creative):
2. Motivation for choosing the topic. Tell me a story based on your life that explains why you want to research this particular topic–why is it meaningful, significant, and important to you personally? A well-developed paragraph is expected.
3. Enumerate specific questions you would like to explore related to your topic. Aim for at least three well-developed, significant, and thoughtful questions…see Paul & Elder’s Art of Socratic Thinking for how to ask “good questions.” See here for 10-page pdf of parts of the book: https://www.criticalthinking.org/TGS_files/SocraticQuestioning2006.pdf
