Children's Culture Group Project
Each group should sign up for some aspect of children's literature or culture that they would like to research and present to the class. You will be writing a formal proposal for this project, but just list the topic here until you are ready to write the proposal. Include all of your group member's names and email addresses. The proposal should include a tentative outline with its proposed thesis, the texts it will be examining, and the individual assignments of how the work is to be divided.
