Step 1: Name your topic
... Hmm, we'll get to a name...
I am trying to learn about evolving narrative forms and language.
Step 2: Add a question
Because I want to find out what role written language will serve in a world that seems to increasingly favor visual storytelling.
Step 3: Motivate your question
In order to help my reader understand how written language is cyclical, and how this is affecting modern storytelling techniques.
Basically, I'd like to examine the phenomena of written language becoming fused with pictures, such as emoticons, and how this affects different kinds of storytelling techniques and fictional genres.

Evolving narrative forms and language...interesting. Will you be covering the media of games or graphic novels at all, since those tend to incorporate elements of both the written and the visual.
As a creative writing and theatre student, you have no doubt been exposed to different methods (and overlaps) from both fields, as theatre seeks to plumb meaning from the written word and shift the canvas onto human form. But today...perhaps it would serve you well to look into aspects of design in interactive media?
