03.14 - Autism Article and Public Figure Project

In today's class, everyone had time to finish the reading processing questions from the article "Reaching My Autistic Son Through Disney" that we began in yesterday's class. As people finished this article, they were able to begin looking for sources and creating notecards for the second section of our research paper (see below for details).

Section 2 - Review of Professional Work/Development
Research in this area should provide information regarding how this person’s work exhibits the growth and change that they experienced in their career. Questions this section should answer are:

How did that person attain or hone these skills/knowledge?
What made this person’s use of these skills different or special compared to others?
What are some significant projects/moments from this person’s career?
How do these projects/moments reflect on this person’s overall development?
If the person is still alive: How does early work relate to where they are now in life?
If the person is not alive: How does early work compare to later work in their career?

Everyone should have at least three new sources for this section of the paper.
Information from previous sources can also be used in this section (everyone still needs three additional sources though).

15 Notecards
3 summary
2 paraphrase
2 quotation
