Today, again, was all about the Fall Essay for the Social Studies side of the block – we spent the whole period working in the library. Students worked on completing their note and source cards that will be due on Friday. If you were absent, please continue to research and narrow down your topic. And again, for everyone, please check out all the related handouts and resources under the “Sophomore Writing” tab.
Note about sources: do not use general encyclopedias for your research, like Encyclopedia Britannica. They are good for your understanding and general background, but not great to use in this project. If you have already done a number of handwritten cards on a general source, see me. We can adjust for Friday’s due date, BUT the information will not be able to be used in the outline or essay. Also, remember eBooks do NOT "count as book sources" for this project. However, feel free to use them for your other two required sources! :) Important Dates: (all Fall Essay information can be found under the Sophomore Writing tab on this website) 10/25: Prelim Research Question & Thesis: TRS Handout-Boxes A & B for Fall essay 10/26: All research due – 25 note cards, 4 source cards (handwritten) 10/29: Refined Research Question & Thesis: TRS Handout – Boxes C & D; 383-385 10/30: 397-40 Comments are closed.
