Review, Google Drive, Topic Worksheet #1
Some of you have had some difficultly setting up your Google Drive accounts.
In-Class Research
In today’s class, I would like you to do some research on both of your potential topics (the two topics you began brainstorming in the Topic Worksheet). I advise using Google Scholar to find academic research.
I would like you to write a paragraph on each piece of evidence. That paragraph should use the signal sentence I highlighted in the last class:
[Author’s] [time period] [genre] [title] [verb] [purpose].
The rest of the paragraph should offer some details as to the methods the author uses or evidence she provides to prove her claim. It might conclude by reinforcing what, based on that evidence, the author would like people to do differently.
To turn this work in, create a new document in Google Drive. Title that document [your-name]-topic-research. Submit the “share” link with the “Topic Research Workshop” assignment in Canvas.
Homework
If you did not finish the Topic Research Workshop, you have until tomorrow at midnight to do so.To clarify: Topic Research Workshop is due by Friday at midnight.
Begin Topic Worksheet #2. This second worksheet asks you to narrow down your topic. I have emailed the second topic worksheet as an attachment. Create and share a new google doc with me called “[your name]-topic-worksheet2.” You can submit this link to Canvas. NOTE: some of the answers to the topic worksheet can come straight from the work you did in class today! Topic Worksheet #2 is due before next Thursday’s class.
Note: we will be meeting in our normal classroom on Tuesday. We will be meeting in the library on Thursday.
