Assignments for Wednesday, Dec. 13, and Thursday, Dec. 14

Write at least one page for the exploratory essay. Share it with me as a Google doc (mrmontasmph@gmail.com) by the start of class.

Assignments for Wednesday, Dec. 6, Thursday, Dec. 7, and Friday, Dec. 8

For Wednesday, complete a rough draft of the research prospectus. You might find it helpful to look for additional sources to help you think about your topic. Your question might still be changing and developing as you write the prospectus, which is fine. I advise that you keep track of the ways your question is changing; don't delete your old research questions.

For Thursday and Friday, further develop the bibliography that must be included with the research prospectus, and list at least ten sources in this bibliography. You may include sources from the annotated bibliography, but do not include the annotations. Make sure that the sources are cited in the same formatting style.

Assignments for Monday, Dec. 4, Tuesday, Dec. 5, and Wednesday, Dec. 6

For Monday (Day 2), write a tentative research question and (based on the handout given in class) identify the kind of question you're asking. In addition, write a paragraph for your research prospectus. If you missed class on Wednesday or Thursday (or if you misplaced it), click here for the handout on developing a research question. You do not need to share this assignment with me yet; but be sure to have it available in class. You will spend most of class working on the research prospectus and pursuing additional sources.

For Tuesday (Day 3) and Wednesday (Day 4), complete a rough draft of the research prospectus. You might find it helpful to look for additional sources to help you think about your topic. Your question might still be changing and developing as you write the prospectus, which is fine. I advise that you keep track of the ways your question is changing; don't delete your old research questions.
