Here are Bergmann’s focus questions. You will have to make some adjustments for our literary context. You should give clear answers to them in your proposal:
What is the problem? (What is the issue around your text that you want to investigate?)
What is your solution?
How are you going to arrive at your solution?
What product(s) will be the outcome? (Sort of built into your assignments: annotated bibliography and an essay.)
When will it be finished? (By the deadlines . . . ?)
What resources will be used/needed?
But this is not really a problem/solution kind of topic. So how must you alter her focus questions to produce a good proposal in this situation?
