# Mini-project B2: Creative rationale

<span style="color:red">The deadline for this mini-project has been extended until Wednesday 30th 2pm.</span>

The goal for this project is less  focused on the methodology, and more on defining the rational basis for your mini-project, and on presenting it creatively. Unlike mini-project B1, mini-project B2 requires a more dedicated research design. That is, it is focused on planning, and especially in justifying, a clear research question.

The main question that should be addressed by your second mini-project:

2. ***Why?***
*Why did you choose to research your topic? What makes the topic relevant? Has no one asked this? Is your approach focused on social, technical, political, etc elements?*

For this second mini-project you should use at least one of the tools from this (JS scraper) and previous blocks (DataMiner, Raw, Voyant). Try to use (when applicable) the topics of this and/or previous blocks (for this mini-project the questions on ethics may be particularly relevant). 

This is (also) an explorative mini-project, so don't worry about finding the right answers or using the most accurate method. **However, pay special attention to justifying your approach, and feel free to present it in a creative way.**

**Notes on your mini-project procedure should be added to the wiki-report (your thoughts on the questions, rationale for them, and decision-making process)**. This is a group work, so only one entry per group is needed.

As before, the mini-project **will be presented next week during class (hold). Groups presenting will be randomly chosen on Tuesday before noon**. Some groups will also be chosen as replyers to comment on the work of your peers. 
However, **all groups should populate their wiki-projects** (as a group, not as individuals).

The report of this mini-proyect should be submitted through Blackboard: Mini-poyects Blog -> Mini-project B2: Creative Rationale

**~~Remember that the deadline  for submitting the wiki-report are Tuesdays 11.59pm of presentation weeks~~**. <span style="color:red">The deadline for this mini-project has been extended until Wednesday 30th 2pm.</span>
