Peanuts inspires a research writing assignment

Choose a historical person or event that you already know something about. Spend an evening (at least three hours) flipping channels and watching programs. Try to watch several different kind of programs (sit-com, drama, documentary, news, educational, food, music). Assume that each program is implicitly about your subject. Take careful notes about what you see and learn. Using evidence from your television viewing, build a website that explains, connects, expands, and/or meditates on your event and its relationship to culture.
