Based on all your materials, answer these questions as thoroughly as possible. That will provide you with much of what is needed for a completed LE3.
• What does your rant focus on specifically? What specific aspect of the rant (if there are multiple aspects) do you want to focus on in your LE3? Why?
• How does the ranter incorporate (or neglect to incorporate) evidence into his or her rant? What evidence specifically does he or she provide? What does this all tell you about the rant?
• What conclusions does the ranter make? What implications does he or she see for people who commit these errors? Is this a reasonable analysis?
• What does your research from Real Writing tell you? What does this source have to say about the grammar issues in the rant? What does the agreement or disagreement with the rant tell you about the grammar issue?
• Who did you interview? What about the interviewed person made you choose him or her for this assignment? What perspective is brought to the rant? Is it the same or different than the rant? The same or different than the textbook? How might you account for the answers to these questions, based on who you interviewed?
• How do these three things interact: rant, book research, and interview? What connections between the three do you want to focus on and expand for LE3?
• What is your opinion on the grammar issue at play in the rant? Has that opinion changed from before you found the rant? Has it changed since you read the research in the book? Has it changed since you did the interview? What about these three things (or your own knowledge) shapes your current opinion on the grammar issue? Were these three things well argued, or lacking in credibility? How so? What conclusions can you make about the grammar issue at hand?
• Based on this, what will your thesis be for your paper? How does this reflect everything you’ll be covering?
