"To the natural philosopher there is no natural object unimportant or trifling…a soap bubble…an apple…a pebble…He walks in the midst of wonders." John Herschel, A Preliminary Discourse on the Study of Natural Philosophy (1830)

Assignments for Thursday, Nov. 30, Friday, Dec. 1, and Monday, Dec. 4
For Thursday, the annotated bibliography is due by the start of class. Share it with me as a Google doc via mrmontasmph@gmail.com.
For Friday and Monday, 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.
