For this blog, you will start to pull together what you understand about your chosen conversation and the potential answers to your research question. In order to complete this blog, you will first need to choose a specific audience that you believe would be interested in the answer to your research question. Please do not say “everyone.” For example, if my research question is “should my county change the bus routes?”, interested audiences might be those who currently use the bus system and voters who may vote on this question in the next election. Part of your grade on this assignment involves choosing a specific audience that is appropriate for your research question. See the bulleted questions below in order to help you pick a good audience. After you choose a specific audience, you will need to . For example, in my example above, I might find a source that explains

how the new bus routes impact current bus users; or I might find a source that explains the language of the question on the ballot for voters. Then, write a 300 word letter addressed to this specific audience. In the letter, you’ll explain your research so far and offer this additional source for their reading. (Although you are actually posting this letter to our class discussion board, you should pretend as if you are giving the letter to the specific audience you’ve identified and write the letter accordingly. This means you can address the audience specifically [“Dear Bus Riders”] and use second person pronouns such as “you.”). In your letter, you should do the following: Here are some . After you have posted your letter, respond to two classmates. Each response should be at least 150 words long and respond to one or more of the following questions: Ban on Abortions
