For our English Unit 3 Project: Creating Public Arguments, my group and I have decided to debate the issue concerning TCU football and why they have not being able to play in that National Championship.  We will together make the argument that TCU deserves to go to the championship for numerous reasons.  Our different audiences we will be focusing on will be the BCS president, TCU students, and also the common public.

My group has come up with a ton of great ideas for the genres/mediums we would like to use when making our argument.  As discussed in class, we will be making a t-shirt.  I believe these t-shirts will be purple (of course!) and complete with a catchy saying and a logo or possibly even a picture.  We discussed going to Hobby Lobby as a group to create these shirts so we will have to see how they turn out.  Another medium we are considering using is to make an eye-catching add in a football magazine.  Our group has spent time finding pictures of the TCU football players in action and also of scoreboards after a win.  We feel these pictures would look great and give even more of a reason of why TCU should go to the championship. This add would be far more informative than our shirts but this makes sense because our add would be intended for an audience that was very into football.  For our written medium, we would like to write a letter for the president of the BSC explaining why TCU should be playing in the National Championship.  Our last medium that Allie has actually started working on is a Facebook page.  Our Facebook group titled, “TCU to the National Championship” is open to all TCU fans and I would love for anyone to join it!  Our homepage is complete with dates and times of TCU football games along with videos of the team.  Also, so far we have not run into any problems!
