-Identify one research source for "family," "friend," "enemy," "one night stand," "stranger," and "help wanted," and explain why they fit in these categories. (Post in comment reply below.)
Literature Review with Expanded Annotated Bibliography (by Wednesday night 9/29):
-Start with your 390 "background statement," or whatever that was called. Revise to indicate the most relevant literature from the different fields your project encompasses, and how those sources relate to your thesis. (See page 3 of course syllabus for a further description; you may not be able to hit the page target yet but do the best you can.) For the annotated bibliography part, try to make 10 new friends and dismiss 10 strangers malingering from last semester. (Submit by Google Docs, or if that doesn't work, email attachment.) If you are still working on your first draft Introduction/I.D.R., that needs to come first.
We will have our next class meeting on Monday 10/4, and continue to discuss sources, what their function is in your essay, standards of proof in the disciplines, and hopefully quotation technique.
Revised Introduction w/ I.D.R. Lit. Review w/ E.A.B. (10/10-10/20; deadline may be determined on an individual basis depending on when your conference is scheduled
