In Part I, you will revise the provisional thesis statement about the subject located above. What is the common ground you believe you share with your audience?

Make sure the thesis is concise (1–2 sentences) and clearly expresses a persuasive argument that offers a solution to a problem in your community. Use the enthymeme format (claim + reason/s).

In Part II, describe your purpose (what is the problem you want to solve and how do you plan to solve it?), audience (key stakeholders), and setting. You will provide details about whom you need to convince to bring about change and explain the community you are writing about.

Finally, in Part III, you will evaluate your argument based on the three rhetorical appeals (ethos, pathos, and logos). For Part III, be sure to use complete sentences and offer specific examples. Aim for 5–7 sentences per section.

You will want to discuss rival hypotheses and how you plan to address them, research you will need to conduct to support your claims, and strategies you can use to connect with your audience. Be sure to discuss at least one source you can use to support claims and to identify a specific logical fallacy your argument could be susceptible to and how to avoid that fallacy.

Write your three (3) questions on a notepad and rehearse asking your questions the day before the scheduled video recording.Are your questions stated clearly? Anticipate the Participant(s) asking you to repeat the questions or to clarify and elaborate what you’re asking.

You also coordinated with your Participant(s) the date, time, and location to record the video, reviewed the Letter of Consent – Release Agreement with the Participant(s), and obtained the person(s)’s signature on the Agreement, if applicable.Here are a few suggestions for a successful video recording experience. Please refer to the grading rubric for the video of the project in Research Project: Part 3 – Submit Video.

Review the information, notes, etc. you have gathered from your research on your selected topic.Having information and knowledge about your selected topic beforehand helps you to remain focused on your research questions during the video recording, anticipate possible follow-up questions, and prepare you to collect information related to your questions.

Write your three (3) questions on a notepad and rehearse asking your questions the day before the scheduled video recording.Are your questions stated clearly? Anticipate the Participant(s) asking you to repeat the questions or to clarify and elaborate what you’re asking.

Arrive at least one (1) hour before the scheduled time for the video recording.Use the time to set up the location or room, check the lighting, and ambient sounds. Test the recording, pause, resume, save, etc., operating procedures on the video recording equipment.

Do a “dress rehearsal” before doing the actual video recording.Review the questions with the Participant. Describe the procedure for the video recording – e.g., when the video recorder begins recording, paused, etc. Try to make the Participant comfortable and at ease. Relax!

Ask the Participant for a “retake” or 2nd video recording, if needed.

Thank the Participant for doing the video recording and express your appreciation.
