​
2. Thesis Statement Workshop

3. Work on your outline


SPAM 2 Request Letter. 
Because of our time-crunch today, I've written up some quick verbiage for you to use in crafting your SPAM 2 request letter.  Feel free to copy, paraphrase, or completely rewrite. 
 
Dear Most Exalted Senior Project Advisor,
 
I am writing today to request a meeting during sometime between now and March 7th.  For the last two weeks I have been pouring over sources, and have critically analyzed 8-10 for my research.  In addition, I have outlined my paper to Ashley’s/Lori’s specifications.  I will attach both the outline and the source evaluations, and would love any feedback you could provide during the beginning of the writing process. 
 
I have 3 objectives for this meeting:
1. Can we revisit my research question and be sure it will get me where I need to go?
2. Lori and Ashley are requesting that we look over my outline together so that you may give me some feedback on developing this into a research paper. 
3. It is optional for you, but you may also look over my annotated bibliography to see what sources I am using to craft my argument, and how I am interpreting these sources. 
 
I will bring a SPAM 2 form with me that echoes the above objectives.  Lori and/or Ashley will need these forms signed and returned by March 7th. 
 
[Suggest a couple meeting times – Use their office hours or other time that you know may work best for them.] 
 
Thanks,
 
Your name
