11/7

As we discussed, the assignment for Monday is part 3 of the next project, the works cited page. In addition, if you have not given me a topic for your paper, or haven't cast it in the format we discussed during today's class, I suggest you do so via email as soon as possible. While I want the topic to be at the top of your works cited page for Monday, it would be best for you and for your research over the weekend if you have a set topic which I've seen and approved.

Note that many articles in the journals are quite long. The key here, then, is to read selectively and carefully yet quickly, but to also be sure you understand the author's entire argument and (because this will be required for the outline) know enough about it to quote from it without misrepresenting their point either generally or in the specific quotation you've chosen.

Lastly, the directions for this assignment are quite clear--look to the prompt (the handout today, but also available to the right) for all answers to how to approach this assignment.
