Amazingly rough draft, ready for download. Written while also preparing for a conference tomorrow, weee! (Tiffany is not a fan of multitasking.)

Hi Rachel and Dell,
Here is my first draft of the proposal. I am looking forward to your comments.
See you soon.
Thanks.

Hey there, Rachel and Jorge. Since you're reading my draft, I figured I would let you know that I could really use your help with:

• Incorporating the course readings more meaningfully into the proposal
• Deciding if and how to include Gramsci (see the note in my references section)
• Making the composition parts clear and meaningful for non-specialists 
  
• Anything else that you think needs work : )

Have a great weekend!

Hiya folks, hope everyone's doing well. I have to admit to some slight confusion over a couple of the criteria for the project proposal, and I figured I'd bring it up here to see how you all are interpreting it. Forgive me if this question was ever brought up in class, but I'm not finding answers in my notes.

The criteria include a "literature review." They also include "specific links to class readings, discussions, and theme." In proposals I've done in the past, the term "literature review" was not used, so I am unsure as to what exactly that entails. I was assuming that this "review" is the establishment of the theoretical framework for the project using whatever of the class texts are appropriate. So is the second criterion something that is incorporated into the larger review section? Or am I missing something?

Sorry if this seems nitpicky or something...just want to make sure I'm crossing all of my Ts, as it were. -- Tiffany

While I'm here, I wanted to say that my project that I hoped to make a reality is seeming less and less like it's going to happen. This is because a much larger filming project has the convention's creators' full attention. They've got a Kickstarter and everything. While I still plan to attend the event and do my own filming, I'm wondering how (or if) I can incorporate this new aspect into my project. Very much still processing.
