  1. A  collaborative proposal for your Issue/Cause Website (see W/D pp. 90-92 for instructions on how to create a proposal and the Issue/Cause Website assignment description for guidance on what should be included in the site).
  2. A document where you can collaborate on the Team Contract (see W/D p. 86; this document will be due at the beginning of Week 13)

Prior to working on the contract, you should review the “Guidelines for Successful Collaborations” on pp. 82-83 and the section on “Collaborative Composing Strategies” on pp. 83-85.

  • The contract should have a title and list the names of all group members.
  • The contract should have 4 sections (from W/D, p. 86) and should answer all of the questions listed in W/D related to each section. Your answers should address how you will deal with these issues while collaborating remotely.
