Research Plan for November 9

In class tonight you went through your focus for your projects and about half the class presented their annotated bibliographies (and contributed some good references for the rest of us). It sounds like all of you are moving forward => finding your focus. And that is the way it usually goes. Keep taking notes and looking for patterns like we did the other week.

At the very end of class we looked at the assignment sheet for the research plan. The first three numerals are writing exercises to help you discover your research question and develop ideas about how to answer that question. Numeral 4 lists the points to cover in your research plan. For sample research plans - look at:

I will be available in the WC on Thursday to talk over your projecst or to help brainstorm ideas for references. Otherwise - keep on gathering notes + attending sessions, and see you on Tuesday, November 9. I will be reading through your blogs (starting today for those of you who have posted annotated bibliographies) and hope to give you some feedback by the weekend.

Blog 12.2: (for Thursday): Annotated bibliography (for those of you who have not yet posted of if you want to make revisions, additions, etc)
