You can create a detailed outline or plan for your research essay. This means creating a vertical list using a numerical or alphabetical system that shows your reader how you plan to execute the writing of your essay. This means that you must first include your expanded thesis statement, and then create a detailed plan for each paragraph of your essay.

Your outline will detail your plan for your introduction, your body paragraphs (and subtopics), and your conclusion. It should be at least 2-3 pages single-spaced. You should discuss the rhetorical strategy you will use for each section. You must also include in-text citations that indicate where you will discuss the research from your annotated bibliography.

Option 2

Please read "Footwork" by Rebecca Solnit.

Preview the document In this essay, Solnit describes a walk thorough a landscape, theorizes particular kinds of walks (e.g. pilgrimages), historicizes/culturally situates walking practices, links walking to thinking, and connects political import to the acts of walking and thinking, finally labelling "walking" as "a cultural act."

You will practice outlining by annotating the text itself in great detail and submit a scanned copy of the article to Canvas. Then, you will choose a walk through Lethbridge, and use Google Earth or Apple Maps to situate yourself in the landscape, and try to engage with the landscape as Solnit does with hers.

Along with the annotated article, you will submit a screenshot of your walk, and a 250 word summary that engages the following questions about your walk:

- What sorts of thinking does your walking produce?
- What are the points in your own landscape?
- What are your own personal histories of these points in the landscape?
- What other sort(s) of walking has/have been done in this area? (Is it instrumental - like shopping or getting from one point to another? For example, from home to school? Is it leisure? Is it religious?)
