-## Week 6 (end: Fri 5 Jun)
+## Week 5-6 (end: Fri 5 Jun)
 
-- [ ] Draft chapter 2
+- [ ] Draft chapter 1
 
-## Week 7 (end: Fri 12 Jun)
+Thesis: contemporary green rhetoric is a failure because it mis-diagnoses the
+root causes of the problems, fails to identify credible routes to credible
+solutions, and fails to identify an appropriate audience.
 
-- [ ] Draft chapter 3
+1. Contemporary green rhetoric (R) is a failure
+2. R mis-diagnoses the problem
+3. R fails to identify credible routes to credible solutions
+4. R fails to identify an audience that can be persuaded to make a difference
+5. The material results of R have been dismal
+
+## Week 7-8 (end: Fri 19 Jun)
+
+- [ ] Draft chapter 2
 
-## Week 8 (end: Fri 19 Jun)
+Thesis: anti-apocalyptic criticism of R mis-diagnoses the problem.
 
-- [ ] Draft introduction
+6. The effect on R's audience now is a spiralling cycle of despair
+7. This has led some critics to blame apocalypticism for the failure of R
+8. This is a traditional criticism of apocalypticism 'from above'
+9. Apocalypse 'from below' has often worked very differently
+10. This difference is due to the different interests of the readers -- a
+    difference which does not apply in the case of green crises
+11. In fact, apocalypse can meet the critic's concerns in principle
+12. (In order to do so in practice, those with power need to attack the
+    structures which drive the downward spiral)
 
-## Week 9 (end: Fri 26 Jun)
+## Week 9-10 (end: Fri 3 Jul)
 
-- [ ] Draft summary
+- [ ] Draft chapter 3
 
-## Week 10 (end: Fri 3 Jul)
+Thesis: green rhetors need to use apocalyptic rhetoric in order to motivate
+their PMC audiences to a martyrdom ethic.
 
-- [ ] Re-draft chapter 2
+13. John's rhetoric exhorts his audience to a martyrdom ethic
+14. R needs to exhort their audiences to a martyrdom ethic
+15. Socialist rhetoric in the past has used apocalypticism for this very purpose
+16. Once rhetors addressing the PMC have fixed all the other problems with R,
+    they'll need this apocalyptic hope, too
