      I think this proposal gives a good idea of what your topic will be, however, it is very broad and should be narrowed down since I think whoever reads your research will be confused as to what exactly you will be questioning and what your focus is on, so I would suggest you focus more on what is it that you want to research. Also, you said that this will be a study on students, so what students were you considering, high school level, university level? Also, how will you have access to surveying them for your research? I think those are stuff you should consider before finalizing the research proposal. You have a great idea but you just need to narrow down on your topic and make sure that there are no obstacles present in this research.

      I’d like to first say that I find your understanding and knowledge of mapping to be visually stimulating which I can appreciate to a level. As you’ve written here, the reader mentally drawn those maps (or “graphs”) to link between characters, actions, author(s), and story to the novel; allowing “the reader to imagine the novel and its history…” I’d like to think that this is one of your strongest components and it might do you will to expand or focus on these descriptions when developing your proposal and research among your students.
      Having said that, I agree with some of the previous comments (too broad and needs more focus). I’d like to suggest, however, that it might help to focus on one (no more than two) of the digital tools as you’ve briefly mentioned around four of them in your proposal; this may help with creating more focus into your research as well. Otherwise, it seems you are on your way to an interesting proposal and I wish you good luck.

    Wow! I’m amazed by Shelley’s Time Line biography!
    I totally agree with you Amy, Time Line and GoConqr tools are easy to use and adapt. Also, as a reader, I think that the outcome graphs of these tools is very entertaining. They are very easy to read and understand by all students regardless of their majors or interests.
    Great work Amy!

    This is so cool Vincent! I really like your Time Line trips. The fact that Time Line can be designed for other subjects makes it even better. The idea of Time Line came to my mind when I was thinking of mapping Absalom! Absalom! for my post. And because this novel travels in time and places, I thought it would be great to create a Time Line that…[Read more]

    it’s interesting how letters in Frankenstein act as social interaction. I never look at it this way, I thought it’s another way of showing their adequacy in language like writing poems! The fact that it worked perfectly as a communication despite of the long distance shows that people will find their way to keep in touch.

    I remember when I saw the map of Yoknapatawpha County in Absalom! Absalom! by Faulkner; using this map I was able to find where and why these themes occur. Eventually, I ended up creating my literary map. T […]

    I love that someone else agrees with me on this view on visualization. To add on to your comment on visualization as a personal discovery, visualizing literary works is somewhat situational. It depends on the reader’s interests; when I read Frankenstein, I noticed the prevalent themes were fate, consciousness, and science. At the time of the…[Read more]
