Research Prospectus (Prospectus #4)

Write a 4th research prospectus (300 words minimum) for your documented essay project. This should expand from the first three prospectuses focusing on what you’ve done the past two weeks and how things have changed or progressed. This needs to be several paragraphs. Don’t forget your research question. Don't just give me the same old thing. Show some growth in thought about your project. There will be optional conferences again for this prospectus.
