Hi Class,
For Monday, keep in mind that we are building toward a research paper that asks you put in considerable hours. Before we get to actually writing the research paper, we first will read and take notes; the Annotated Bibliography is the place to “store” these notes and citations from useful sources. My previous post provides a student sample of a successful Annotated Bibliography.
For Monday:
1. Type up a brief summary of your proposed topic (or place); then under this summary type five questions that you need to answer. These questions should go beyond something like: when was the Empire State Building built? Ask “how” questions.
2. Read and research for at least three hours. Remember the art of the search–and how hard it can be. Be willing to change the search terms.
3. Bring in at least four citations and their annotations for review and discussion. Typed.
Best,
Prof. Scanlan
