- Beyond academics and campus life, what do ABC students care about? List at least three potential topics that students care about, that they have opinions on, and that they have some power over with regard to their ability to do something about the issue or to think about it in a new way.
- How is each topic you listed relevant to students, and how do you know?
- Explain how each topic is within a student’s control to do something about (in which case, explain what action they could take) or to think differently about (in which case, explain why it would matter that they think differently about it).
- What personal experience do you have with each topic that you can potentially describe/narrate in your paper to demonstrate the issue (and help to persuade your audience)?
- Of the topics you listed, which topic do you believe is most relevant and why? Which topic do you believe has the strongest personal experience for persuading your audience to consider your perspective?
