Proposing Your JFA

Step 1:
In a list explain the following:
1. What is the topic you are proposing to write about for your JFA?
2. What approach do you plan to use? (what angle - How to, informative, etc)
3. What do you already know about your topic?

When you have finished answering those questions hit submit (make sure you put your name and cohort in the Name Line. If you don't I won't be able to give you credit.)

Step 2:
Then - read through your class mates posts. Respond to at least 1 other student's post in one of the following ways -
1. Tell the person you are also writing about that topic
2. If you think a different approach might be better explain what approach and why.
3. Share information you already know about the persons topic that they didn't already list.

After responding to a student remember to hit submit and make sure your name is included!

The topic I am writing about is why students take the MCAS for parents. The approach I plan to use is informative. What I already know about the reason why students take the MCAS is not really a lot once I think about it, but I will find out.
