Goals for the Day
Starter 2.4: Freewrite your reaction to yesterday's guest speaker.
Project Process
Step 1: Research and brainstorm topic/text/central document
Step 2: Preliminary Research
• Do some research to refine and narrow your topic. See what is out there. Make a plan.
Step 3: Refine Topic and Establish Thesis (subject to change)
• Topic due Friday, February 6.
• Working thesis due Tuesday, February 10. (We will have a mini-tune on this day)
Step 4: Focused Research/Close reading of texts
• During this phase, you should be researching in such a way as to accomplish your project goals. I am not going to mandate any particular format of note-taking and annotation, but you should be documenting your research! I am going to check your progress throughout. Document in a way that feels authentic and useful to you. Annotate? Notes Page? Post-its? Comp Book?
• Your Works Cited should contain at least 5 sources (unless you are doing a lit analysis, in which case you may have fewer or more, depending on what you are analyzing). Create your Works Cited page along the way!!!
Step 5: Analytical Writing (in whatever genre you have chosen).
• Critique draft due Friday, February 13
Step 6. Refinement/Critique
