03.20 - Research Project

For class today, everyone had the period to work on their public figure research project. The goal for today was to come up with a thesis statement and main ideas on the outline, sort notecards in to appropriate sections of the outline, and get a start on the writing of the paper.

During class I went around and answered individuals' questions and met with people one-on-one to check in on how their research was going. Everyone should be writing the second section of their paper (the professional review of their person's work) this weekend.

Section 2: Review of Professional Work - Section Requirements

3 new sources (may use information from previous sources as well.

15 Notecards
3 summary
2 paraphrase
2 quotation
8 free choice (summary, paraphrase, and quotation)

Final write up: 900 words

Our work on this section of the paper will be as follows for this week:

Wednesday - section 2 notecards, section 2 outline (with thesis and main ideas)
Thursday - finish section 2 outline, begin writing the initial draft for section 2 (due Monday)
