Project, Part 3
When you've discovered the pattern, use that idea or phrase to
develop a claim for an argument. Your claim should identify the
pattern and assert something based on it. For more about claims,
review Booth, chapter 8. Your pattern could be a word, idea, or
phrase that flows throughout your entries. Your claim should suggest
this connection.
Your supports for the argument are in the research you've done to generate this pattern. Construct a hypertextual collage out of your research and claim that demonstrates your argument. Remember, we're using a method based on the web to develop research in a new way. Our claims come from the very relationship we have asserted among our entries. Use that relationship to build your argument.
Copy your current website contents into a subdirectory and start afresh. You should get a bulk of data for your project from the entries you have already created, but you will need to re-shape it toward the pattern you have developed. As such, your project should not be about your year anymore, but rather about the pattern, word, thought, or idea.
