Where Are at Mid-Term? Right Where We Need to Be (GASP!!)

For Tuesday:
Return argumentative essays (C/C are coming, but will be delivered on Thursday)
Discuss topics just a bit
Prep. for research essays -- pain and aggravation - detail - "grunt" work
Easybib.com for Works Cited Page

Assignment for Thursday:
Begin doing MORE reading on your chosen topic; become as well informed as possible; use Galileo, not Wikipedia (duh)
Begin preliminary bibliography using EasyBib
On Thursday, 10/17/- discuss citations--how to do them; how to introduce them into text; review their connection to the WCP (Works Cited Page)

For NEXT Tuesday, 10/22:
Check YOUR WCP - answer questions you have so far on research--whether it is in content, citations or WCP

For Next Thursday, 10/24: YOUR day for questions

Tuesday, October 29th: RESEARCH ESSAY IS DUE!!
  • At least 5 pages, INCLUDING the WCP, which means the content should be approximately 3.5 to 4 pages
  • At least 3 GOOD references, in addition to the original article that served as a springboard on U.S. News and World Report
  • MUST be in MLA format
  • MUST contain internal citations (or it will automatically FAIL)
Study guide in class for quiz on Thursday

Thursday, Oct. 31st - (sorry) QUIZ over composition -- from beginning of the semester - research -- NO--you will not be writing an essay, you'll just have to be knowledgeable about the writing process and the research process
