ENGL 203 TOPIC PROPOSAL

Write a topic proposal for your final Research Project to Blackboard about THE BURIED GIANT, including a list of 6 scholarly sources (i.e., peer-reviewed academic articles or book chapters) that you are considering using in your project. Please note:

The topic proposal is just a paragraph explaining what topic–directly related to one (or more) of “THE BURIED GIANT” by Kazuo Ishiguro. The topic proposal should simply explain: what topic and text you are interested in, why you are interested in it, which kind of project you plan to pursue (creative or research paper), and what steps you plan to take as you develop this germ of an idea into the full research project in April.

Please note that all of your sources should be scholarly / peer-reviewed sources. Sources that are not scholarly will receive a 0 for that part of the assignment.

Please note that the list of scholarly sources should include the full MLA bibliographic info for the source, not just a broken link. If you do not include the full bibliographic info for the source, the topic proposal will get a 0 for that part of the assignment.

• Grading for the topic proposal: up to 10 points for a good Topic Proposal paragraph, and 5 points per scholarly source formatted in MLA. (40 participation/homework points total, so if you are trying to bump up your grade in the class, this is an excellent opportunity to do so, provided that you do a good job.).
