Post 2-3 different reviews of your research topic on your blog if you haven’t done so already. (You can just post links.) If you’re still trying to make a final decision on a topic, Then post one review for each option you’re looking at. If it's a topic that doesn't have reviews, then find 2-3 articles or commentaries and post them.
Reminder: these should be from
newspapers/mags/ books and not random blogs or unknown websites.
Write a 2-page summary of the reviews you’ve found. Specifically what you should write about are the following: where are the reviews from and who wrote them? What parts of your subject does each one analyze? What conclusions does each review come to? Do they agree
on or disagree with each other?
Bring a printed copy of your summary with you to class to hand in. It should be typed and double spaced. (Note: if you've got more than one topic, then simply do a 1-page summary of a review for each of the 2 possibilities you like best.)
Read The chapter on “Research” (pp. 92-102) and the “Supporting Your Thesis” and “Organizing your Evidence”/ “Using Sources” (104-106) sections in Diana Hacker’s
Pocket Style Manual.
Read pp. 98-102 and p. 106 slowly and carefully.
Read the Wikipedia entry for your proposed project(s).
Print it/them out and
bring it/them to class.
