Semester Topic
Topic: May 13
Relation to Topic: Every Indonesian will know and remember the date May 13. By May 13, I don't mean the ones that you can find in wikipedia, such as the births and history, etc. The exact date will be 13th of May 1998. Some of us Indonesians may not have experienced it directly, but we heard stories and news from our relatives. I myself got affected indirectly by the incident.
Who will be interested in my topic: Historians probably? People who wanted to know about why many Indonesian Chinese are now spread throughout the world. Others who wants to know the history of Indonesia and those who want to know more about Indonesia and what is going on there.
Edit:
More Info: On 12th of May 1998, a student was shot dead. the next day after the student was burried, a demonstartion occured that turned into a horrible riot. The riot lasted for months and left irrepairable damages to the economy, government and many other factors. We Indonesian calls it the May 13 incident. However, it seems that what happened during May 13 was not quite an incident but a possible plot by the government to kick out the chinese from Indonesia. During that time, Most of the economy is controlled by the Chinese and many Indonesian was unhappy. Now, when you go to Singapore or even China, you may find a lot of Indonesian Chinese there. They migrated there due to this.

Who else will be interested: Investors, Economist and Business Man. Invertors wants to know how the country is doing before they will want to invest in a country. This will mean that they would research on what happens so far and wether the country will be a safe investment. The same with business man, but they would probably also include wether the country is safe enough. Economist will want to know why Indonesia's Economy suddenly became bad. Future Generations many future generation would probably want to know why their grandparents escaped from Indonesia.

You described May 13th to me, so I understand what you're getting at--but nobody else in the class would understand! Please go back and edit your post for the sake of total understanding.
Beyond historians, think of other (semi)professionals who could use your writings on May 13 in their work.
When you write project 1, make sure to talk a lot about your relatives' experiences with May 13.
You are clear to proceed with the 1st draft of project 1.
