Homework for Friday, March 23

Before the field trip, please read the "Richard Hugo House Guidebook" that was placed in your Cornish mailbox.

The Hot Sheet (revisited)

Your hot sheet will contain three sections:
- A brief description of your project.
- A list of key words and phrases (terms, features, images, ideas) associated with your subject.
- A collection of “what,” “how,” and “why” questions about your subject.

1. Write your name and the date at the top of your sheet.

2. Title your project. (Keep in mind that the title of your paper may change as you work.)

3. Describe your project in 50-75 words. (What are you exploring? How will you approach the inquiry? What’s involved in the work? What do you hope you or others will “get” from your paper?)

4. Brainstorm a list of key words or short phrases that relate to your project. Aim for 15-20 words or phrases.

5. Make a list of “what,” “how,” and “why” questions about your subject. (Or, translate your project into “what,” “how,” and “why” questions.) Aim for 10 questions.

6. Save a copy of the hot sheet on your computer, and print a copy to bring to class. (Your hot sheet should be double-spaced, with one-inch margins. At the top of the page, please include your name, the date, “Seattle Arts Ecology,” and “Hot Sheet.”)
