Assignments – Week #10
- Monday, April 1st: Three Topics posted to blog before class. These should be three ideas that you are genuinely interested in considering for your Analytical Research Paper. Take a look at the broad categories mentioned on your assignment sheet, and think about the ideas your group generated on Wednesday if you feel stuck.
- Wednesday, April 3rd: Proposals Due. Please come to class on Wednesday with a hard copy of your Research Proposal. Additionally, place the file containing your research proposal in your personal ENG 2150 folder. That way, I will be able to give you feedback on your proposal before next Monday’s class. A Research Proposal is a short document that lays out what you hope to explore in your Analytical Research Paper. It should include both your Guiding Question (the central question that you are asking in this paper) as well as sub-topics or sub-questions that you expect to address in the paper. Your proposal should also explain why this is an important topic to explore and an important question to be asking.
- Monday, April 8th: We will be meeting in the Vertical Campus in room 6-145, a computer lab. In this “working session” we will be reviewing how to use the Newman Library’s online databases and discussing how to find and evaluate sources. The more work you do ahead of this session, the more progress you will be able to make. I recommend coming to class with a preliminary outline for your paper. This will allow you to organize the material you encounter in your research into the appropriate sections of the essay before you actually start drafting your essay.
