Senior Project - Week of March 19

This week's goals:
-Do questions for interview #2 and set up the interview.
-College Prep: 5 more annotated bibliographies (for a total of 15). Include a second print source.
-Honors: 7 more annotated bibliographies (for a total of 19). Include a second print source.

Now that you have collected a fair amount of material, it's time to make sure that you're reading this material (if you haven't been already). Just another reminder: you should be taking notes. I'm not grading the notes, but they will be crucial to your process.

Some of you may prefer electronic/online notes on Noodle Tools or Google docs; some may like to highlight and make marginal notes; some of you may be loosely structuring your paper already with a skeleton of notes. Whatever process you use, be sure to take notes. Refer to the handout on note taking if you need to. (It's also available in the Senior Project folder of edmodo.)

Review your "Organizing Your Senior Project" sheet to remind you of the eventual structure of your paper. (It was one of your handouts and is available in the Senior Project folder of edmodo.)

By the end of the week, you should be solidly on track with your project. If you're feeling uncertain, come see me, and we'll work out the rough spots.

NOTE: After this week, we'll be spending our in-class time on other items in the English 12 curriculum. Continue working on the project for homework. Around the end of April, when it's time to begin your rough draft, we'll go back to working on this in class full time.
