Choose Your Topic !!
Picking Your Groups
After you’ve chosen your topic, create a list of why you choose the topics, key points you (might) want to address in one or many pieces, and finally, what impact you (might) want to leave your audience.
This whole lesson is supposed to mean something, so don't pick your group just because you're best friends. Pick a group you know you can write some excellent pieces with. Also you are picking a group with others who choose the same topic as you so that should make it a little easier.
- Each group has 3 members
- Each member is going to write an individual piece on your topic before you can begin working on the group piece
