Happy Spring Break! I hope you’re all taking this week to relax and spend time with family and outside. I also don’t want you to lose sight of our work in this course, which is almost 2/3 over!

To that end, I wanted to just reach out and remind everyone that you have work due for Monday 4/5, which is the draft of your Research Question and 3 preliminary sources for your Unit 2 Assignment, the Reflective Annotated Bibliography. If you haven’t yet (somehow) read the assignment page, please do so ASAP. If you have and still have questions, please reach out to me via email ASAP.

Regardless, you must submit your draft of the Research Question + 3 preliminary sources by Monday 4/5 @ 4 PM, before our Zoom class meeting. At this point in the semester, things start to move a little more quickly so it’s important to stay in touch with me and don’t fall behind!

All,

Here’s a video that goes into deeper detail about the Reflective Annotated Bibliography. I recorded this last semester, but it’s about the same assignment and almost everything that I explain here is applicable to this semester’s version of the assignment. I just wanted to give you a bit more insight into what you’re going to do.

Important differences (all of which are accurate on the assignment page):

• You’re required to use three sources, not the four/five I mention in the video, and each annotation should be 400 words.
• With the intro + conclusion, that brings the total word count to ~1900 words. That sounds like a big number – trust me, you’ll have plenty to say about each source and I’ll be advising you along the way.
• Due dates:
  • Mon. 4/5: Research Question/3 preliminary sources
  • Fri. 4/9: Rough Drafts
  • Wed. 4/14: Peer Review Session
  • Fri. 4/16: Final Drafts
