This project will focus on proving a claim that you want to make about your subculture. The choice of this main point is entirely up to you. Yes, it could be an idea

that you have already worked with in an earlier project, but the catch is that you will prove this idea differently. So the idea might be the same, but the writing and

approach will become different.

For this assignment, you will develop an essay that is suitable for publication with a venue for Academic Writing. Your writing should focus on an opinion you hold

about your subculture (a claim), and it should incorporate supporting research that relates to that idea and helps you to prove it.

Find bits from your research that supports the point you want to make, and weave those bits of support into your essay to bolster your argument. Don’t over-rely upon

your research, but use it strategically to add credibility to your own argument.
