Nearby Farmers Market: Inspiration To Have Own Farm
Write a profile in riverside CA, must do some research. And answer following questions:
TOPIC: Briefly (1-2 sentences) describe the topic of your profile: the person, place, or event you will write about. Remember, the subject and your perspective may not be obvious yet.
SCHEDULE: Your profile interview is due Friday, 4/27, and your essay rough draft is due Monday, 4/30. In the space below, list when you will complete the interview/field work and how you will get there. (You may need to contact someone to confirm they will be available to meet with you.)
MATERIALS: List or describe the materials you will use for your field work (e.g., pen, paper, recorder, camera).
The topic of your profile is what or whom you choose to write about (a person, a group of people, a place, or an activity), but the subject and your perspective on the subject may be something you discover only after researching, visiting, participating, or interviewing. I will include a couple generic examples below to stimulate your creative juices. By no means are you limited to events listed on the links I provided in the prompt.
POSSIBLE TOPICS
A local restaurant: while researching, interviewing, visiting, etc., you may find that there is something special about the restaurant, its employees, its owner, its history, its patrons, or something else entirely. The thing you find special could become the subject for the profile.
A nearby farmers market: again, you may find while visiting that there is something in common between many vendors or visitors, or maybe you notice nobody shows up or it's entirely packed. Speak with some vendors to find out a bit about them, who they are, how long they've been attending the market, how long they've been in the industry.
An art or history museum: do some background research, see who visits, ask who visits, see who works there and why.
There is no predicting what each those topics may reveal to you, but doing a little research before visiting will give you an idea of what they are about. The guide to writing has a “Ways In” section for your developing perspective on a subject. Don't forget about the guide to writing!
