Note: this is the same assignment posted below, but it’s important, so I wanted to bring it to the top! Due by Noon on Wednesday, Oct 14 :

Please note: even though classes on Wednesday  follow a Monday schedule, we will have a required class at the regular time on Weds! 

WRITE: Write a blog post (at least 400 words) in which you introduce your research question (remember to get it approved by me first!) You must cover all of the questions in bold. Answer in paragraph form. :

  • Why are you interested in this question?  (Feel free to talk about your own personal experience with the topic, or to tell an anecdote about your experience with this subject matter)
  • What do you expect to find in your research? (Why do you expect to find this?)
  • What will you do if you find information that goes completely against what you had expected to find? (Will you throw it out? Will you write about it anyway? Will you challenge your own assumptions?)
  • What genres do you think might give you good information? (What is it about those genres that make them good potential sources?) Please make sure you have read the Kerry Dirk article for Friday, Oct 9 to answer this properly! 

Spend some time on this– because this will serve as the first draft of the introduction for your annotated bibliography! Keep a copy for your final draft! 

Please use the category: Bibliography Intro RD (this will automatically categorize in Unit 2 as well, but it will make these easier to find when it’s time for you to put your whole report together.)
