Genre: t-shirt & essay
Title: T-shirt time
Hananiah, Denis, Amy & Shannon
Rough draft of the research proposal:
1.
Statement of the Problem
-We are combining the genres of t-shirts
and essays
-Essays are normally turned in on paper,
not clothing. T-shirt messages generally aren’t 500 words.
-We are turning in an essay written on a T-shirt
(?)
2. The purpose
of the Study
-We are doing this to test the reaction
of the professor and our peers
-We are trying to figure out if
these separate genres can mesh together to work as one genre
-We are changing the content,
audience, location and format of both t-shirts and essays
-The purpose of this study is to
observe the reactions when t-shirts and essays are meshed together into one
genre
3. The research
questions
-How does the combining of the genres of
t-shirts and essays affect the opinion of your writing and how would the
audience react to this radical change in genres.
4. Research
method/design
-To test
this combination, one group member will turn in an essay written on a plain white
t-shirt. A group member will come to class with the folded essay and turn it in
with all the essays written on paper and watch for the professor’s/peer’s
reactions
5. Significance
-We are testing to see how a professor grades and how his/her opinions change about a piece of work when it's not traditional
-We are interested to see if genres can be combined, and if others will allow themselves to not follow traditional constraints
