Rachel C. Johnson
Mr. Griffin
English 111

Prospectus: Proposal
The project is going to focus on me. It is going to be like an autobiography but told in a more interesting way. Instead of only completing a written part of the project, I also want to make a video. I don’t want it to consist of only my thoughts, but also the opinions of others. The project is going to be like a rhetorical analyzes of me. It will consist of my history along with my present.
The genre that I am choosing to do is a collage. Not just one collage but multiple ones that express different aspects of me. For example one collage will consist of my hobbies, another collage will focus on my personality, and the last collage will be about what I don’t like or my flaws. I don’t want to give my audience this perfect image. I want them to become aware of the negatives and positives of Rachel.
My intended audience is my classmates. I want my classmates to know me as a person, not just a girl who was in English 111 with them. My audience is also my professors. This semester I didn’t take the time to form a relationship with my teachers. This is an opportunity for them to know a little about me. My audience is my friends. Maybe my friends will learn something about me that they never knew. Lastly, my audience is myself.
College is all about growing up and learning who you are. The purpose of this project is to dissect and interpret. I want to discover who I am. I want to do this in different perspectives, view myself through my eyes and the eyes of others. That’s where the interviews come into play. Interviewing others and asking them how they would describe Rachel. I think I might even have a different person interview these individuals to get an honest opinion. The purpose is to also make new discoveries. Maybe I will find out that my past experiences have influenced my personality. Or maybe even discover some bad habits that I was never aware of. The ultimate question of this assignment is, “Who is Rachel Johnson?”

this is great--a rhetorical analysis of self. i like that it has this possibility of informing not only the people around you as to 'who is rachel johnson' but it also might involve some self-discovery.
very good. i am excited to see it.
make sure you give me a couple pages on, really, whatever you feel about the project. this paper could be additional analysis, it could be an informative outline of the video itself, it could be a short reflection on the process of making this project (what you learned, etc)...it can introduce the project ("what you are about to see is...")
Make sense? Shout at me with any questions.
