1 Annotating Sources, Outlining, and Drafting

2 Goals for Today: Each person who submitted an annotated bibliography will conference with me briefly, and I will offer a progress report based on bibliography sources. While other students are conferencing with me, you have three options: Annotate printed sources Outline research paper Draft research paper

3 Annotate Printed Sources
Highlight and comment on important or intriguing information: Facts/statistics important to your argument Well-stated points to which you can respond using a quote sandwich Common threads across all research Facts/points in one source that relate to information from another source Content that will help you to use a balance of logos/ethos/pathos

4 Outline Research Paper
I have placed an outline on the course website. Know your thesis. What is the big claim about pop culture you are making? Make sure this claim has a clear point of view and a preview of how your essay will support the claim. What are the major points of support for your thesis? Each of these points will require a paragraph of explanation (or several paragraphs, if the point is complicated). Each body paragraph of your paper should have quotes or paraphrases from your sources integrated smoothly. Begin grouping quotes/info and deciding how you will group them into paragraphs so you can weave them together and with your own ideas.

5 Draft Research Paper If you have a strong thesis and a clear idea of where you are going with your paper, you may use this time to draft your essay. You may also continue to find more appropriate sources for your paper. Today will require you to be self directed. Use your time wisely while I am conferencing with others, and you will have less to do at home.
