Objective: By the end of class, students will READ and HIGHLIGHT and SUMMARIZE sources of information in order to prepare to write their senior research paper.
DO NOW
Review the Senior Project Overview requirements.
THEN:
1. Take out your sources. Annotate, highlight and summarize.
If you do not have printed sources, I will print one for you today. Please be sure to get all of your sources printed out so that you can more easily reference them while writing your paper.
2. Organize your information. Which sources contain information for each section of your paper? Make sure you have enough information for each section.
3. You will use at least two direct quotes per section of your paper. Start to think about that as you annotate your sources.
4. ORGANIZATION is IMPERATIVE to writing a successful research paper. If you are not organized and you do not really understand and digest the information from your sources, you will have the tendency to plagiarize.
4. Remember that good sources are usually .gov, .edu or .org.
5. Remember to save all of the url's to your reference page and use easybib.com to create proper references. Save the URL's underneath the properly formatted reference so that you have access to it if needed while writing your paper.
6. You will be required to show me your printed sources, and clearly identify the parts of each source that you intend to use for each section of your paper prior to writing.
6. When we get to it later this week, we will discuss a proper opening to your introduction. This may be an ANECDOTE or a famous QUOTE or a DEFINITION.....it will differ for all of you depending on your topic.
