Plan an experiment that will help you complete your writing project. Detail every aspect of this experiment in your post. What is the hypothesis? How will you test your hypothesis? What do you think will happen? In addition, indicate whether you plan on actually testing this experiment. If yes, you might include the results at a later date. If no, indicate what support youd need to make this experiment happen.

Find a study that has already been done and reflect on its findings. How does this study connect to your writing project? What does this study not show?

Read several pieces related to your writing project. Report on trends you notice. What do all of these pieces discuss similarly? What is a possible point of disagreement? Where does your writing project fit into this conversation?

Create a survey that would help you flesh out an idea or two in your writing project. Explain in detail how the questions you propose would help you as a writer. You might also indicate what you think the survey will reveal.

Share the survey you created above with 15 or more people. Review the results and report on what the results indicate. Any trends? Patterns?

Find a statistic related to your project. What does this statistic reveal? What stories does this statistic fail to present? How will your project challenge this statistic? How will your project affirm this statistic?
