Same, but different:
• Will still have to write, but more freedom in terms of topic.
• Will still have RELs, but these will be more student-driven.
• Will still have focus on form in writing, but somewhat less on rhetorical elements, more on features of lexis, discourse, and style.

Ultimate goal:
• Produce a polished text of a publishable quality that is of relevance to the student author and student body as a readership.
• These texts, which also count as the final exam, will be published in an online “webzine” that will be partly organized by the students themselves.

Over to you...
Considering that you will ultimately need to write an argumentative paper (one that will involve problematization on some level), discuss the following:
1. What topic(s) might you be interested in writing about?
2. How would you focus the paper?

Finding Sources
1. Where do you start?2. Why start there?3. What problems have you encountered?4. What about the UFPR library resources (i.e.
book holdings). Have you used them before? What was your experience?
![Page 26: Over to you (week 8)](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062515/55c40291bb61eb6b078b46be/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

CHALLENGE!
• You have 45 minutes to find 5 sources that will be useful for you.
• Remember, one purpose of this exercise is to narrow down your topic, so don’t be surprised if you find yourself changing topics in the course of this exercise – that’s normal!
• These 5 sources will be part of your assignment for Sunday.
