03.26 - Research: Section 2

At the beginning of class today, we looked at what section three of the public figure project research should be. Key points of this discussion include:

This section of the paper focuses on why this public figure is significant to you.

In this section, discuss some of the life events that were previously addressed in the paper and describe how they are meaningful to you.

You may choose to do some additional research about your public figure in areas that are of interest to you and that did not come up in this section of the paper originally.

In your outline, you may (and will probably need to) incorporate notecards that were also used in other sections of your paper so that you can address those facts or events and discuss what they mean for you (previously you discussed what they said about your public figure).

After this review, we checked in quickly on everyone's progress via a show of hands (see directions below).

In terms of progress, most of the class was around stage 3 or 4 in terms of their progress. We will be using this week to get people caught up on their projects and then working on section 3 next week.

Everyone had the rest of the period to work on their research project according to where they were at.
I met individually with people to help them with their research and answer questions.
